摘要

The Justin–Huzita–Hatori Axiom 6 of origami related to so-called neusis constructions assures the solution of real cubic equations Beloch showed in 1936. We investigate a certain real cubic curve \(F(x,y)=0\) , say, Beloch’s curve that appears in the algorithm and prove that its shape is determined by the sign of the Hessian \(\mathscr {H}_F=-4(4p+q^2)\) at its uniquely existing singular point P(p, q). This viewpoint would shed new light on the relationship between Axioms 5 and 6.
