Abstract
When an observer looks at a curved mirror, they may sense that a nonlinear map is at work. Here we consider the problem of finding the mirror that realizes a given map. The natural language for such problems is that of planar distributions, and one tool for testing for the existence of solutions is the Frobenius theorem. For situations where exact solutions do not exist, we describe an approximation method that can give good results for applications. Our examples will include non-reversing mirrors, panoramic mirrors, and automotive mirrors without blind spots.
