AN JE^., or curvilinear element of order k, in algebraic geometry can be described most conveniently as a simple sequence O {= O0), Olt..., Ok of k-\-1 consecutive points in a projective space Sr or on an algebraic manifold Vr. The origin 0 of the Ek is an actual point of Sr (or a simple point of Vr), and for i^ 1 each O {is a fictitious point proximate to (in the first neighbourhood of) its immediate predecessor Oi_v The Ek is linear if it is contained in a linear curve branch with 0 as origin; otherwise it is singular. The simplest classification of Ek for given k is that based on their proximity schemes, the proximity scheme of an Ek being that which indicates for each i^ 1 the predecessors of Oi (including 0f _2) to which Oi is proximate, f and being invariant over space transformations which are analytic at 0. In this classification the linear Ek constitute one class of dimension (k-\-\) r—tc\and, more generally, any admissible proximity scheme characterizes a class of Ek of dimension (k-\-l) r—k', where k'^ k is the number of proximity conditions contained in the scheme. As k increases, the number of distinct classes of Ek, ie of admissible proximity schemes, increases rapidly. Thus, for Ek in the plane (or on a surface), the E1 form a single class, there are two classes of E2 (the linear E2 and the cuspidal E2), there are five classes of E3> and so on.
