We obtain the classification of singularities occurring in families of convex hulls of apparent contours up to codimension 3. The results for codimension 2 singularities allow us to supplement Varchenko's classification of local singularities of thermodynamic phase diagrams of binary mixtures. Singularities of three-parameter families specify so-called global phase diagrams in three-dimensional parameter spaces and define all local perestroikas of phase diagrams in generic one-parameter families of binary mixtures. |
