Izumiya, Shyuichi (ed.) et al., Singularity theory and its applications. Papers from the 12th MSJ International Research Institute of the Mathematical Society of Japan, Sapporo, Japan, September 16–25, 2003.

The nets of principal curvature lines on surfaces embedded in Euclidean 3 space near their endpoints, at which the surfaces tend to infinity, are studied. Patterns of the most common and stable behaviors at the ends are also classified in generic families of surfaces depending on one parameter.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1110.32001].
