A plane curve whose radius of curvature $R$ at any point $M$ is proportional to the segment of the normal cut off by the polar (line) of $M$ with respect to a certain circle. The natural equation of a Cesàro curve is
$$s=\int\frac{dR}{(R/b)^m-1},$$
where $b$ is a constant and $m$ is a real number. Investigated by E. Cesàro [1].
