چکیده

From the view of differential geometry, a straight line is a geometric curve with the curvature κ(s) = 0. A plane curve is a family of geometric curves with torsion τ(s) = 0. Helix is a geometric curve with non-vanishing constant curvature κ and non-vanishing constant torsion τ [4]. The helix may be called a circular helix or W -curve [9]. It is known that straight line (κ(s) = 0) and circle (κ(s) = a, τ(s) = 0) are degenerate-helices examples [12]. In fact, circular helix is the simplest three-dimensional spirals [6]. A curve of constant slope or general helix in Euclidean 3-space E is defined by the property that the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed straight line called the axis of the general helix. A classical result stated by Lancret in 1802 and first proved by de Saint Venant in 1845 (see [19] for details) says that: A necessary and sufficient condition that a curve be a general helix is that the function

ASSOCIATED CURVES OF THE SPACELIKE CURVE VIA THE BISHOP FRAME OF TYPE-2 IN E₁³

The objective of the study in this paper is to define M₁,M₂-direction curves and M₁,M₂-donor curves of the spacelike curve γ via the Bishop frame of type-2 in E₁³. We obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions when the associated curves to be slant helices and general helices via the Bishop frame of type-2 in E₁³. After defining the spherical indicatrices of the associated curves, we obta...

Duality Properties of Indicatrices of Knots

The bridge index and superbridge index of a knot are important invariants in knot theory. We define the bridge map of a knot conformation, which is closely related to these two invariants, and interpret it in terms of the tangent indicatrix of the knot conformation. Using the concepts of dual and derivative curves of spherical curves as introduced by Arnold, we show that the graph of the bridge...

Special Bertrand Curves in semi-Euclidean space E4^2 and their Characterizations

In [14] Matsuda and Yorozu.explained that there is no special Bertrand curves in Eⁿ and they new kind of Bertrand curves called (1,3)-type Bertrand curves Euclidean space. In this paper , by using the similar methods given by Matsuda and Yorozu [14], we obtain that bitorsion of the quaternionic curve is not equal to zero in semi-Euclidean space E4^2. Obtain (N,B2) type quaternionic Bertrand cur...

On Some New Properties of the Spherical Curvature of Stereographically Projected Analytic Curves

We discover new information about the spherical curvature of stereographically projected analytic curves. To do so, we first state formulas for the spherical curvature and spherical torsion of the curves on S2 which result after stereographically projecting the image curves of analytic, univalent functions belonging to the class . We then derive results concerning the location of the critical p...
