Some Characterizations Of Rectifying Curves In The Euclidean Space E^4, Kazim İlarslan, Emilija Nesovic

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we define a rectifying curve in the Euclidean 4-space as a curve whose position vector always lies in orthogonal complement N^{\perp} of its principal normal vector field N. In particular, we study the rectifying curves in E^4 and characterize such curves in terms of their curvature functions.
