Ok, but I am having problems thinking about how I would approach
this problem for arbitrary rotations.  I can constrain my polynomials
somewhat arbitrarily, if that makes finding function inverses simpler,
but I am having a problem thinking about how to find the set of
values which I need to work with, in the general case.

For example, consider:

p=: ($&0 1 0 _1 % [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 30
dot=: +/ .*
rot=: (1 _1,:1 1) * (2 1,:1 2)&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
g=: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dot (,: p&p.)@]
G=: (#"1~ (= >./\)@{.)@g
F=: j./@(0.375&G)@(0.1 * i:)

      #60 -.&F 70
6

I want to define a similar F such that x -.& x2 is always
empty when x < x2.  And when I say "similar F" I mean for
somewhat arbitrary polynomials (or whatever other function --
I am using polynomials here because they seem somewhat
tractable) and for somewhat arbitrary rotations, and for somewhat
arbitrary choices of the generating function (for example, if I
replace that 0.1 in 0.1 * i:).  I can accept constraints on my problem
space as long as I am not reducing myself to trivial cases.

I am happy to go away and study whatever I need to study, but
right now I do not know what to search on, to find relevant
material.

Thanks,
