Slant Helices: A New Approximation, Pascual Lucas, Jose Antonio Ortega-Yagues Jan 2019

Slant Helices: A New Approximation, Pascual Lucas, Jose Antonio Ortega-Yagues

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study a weaker version of classic slant helices in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ or Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^3_1$, which will be called general slant helices. We show that any classic slant helix is a general slant helix but the converse is not true. We also obtain equations involving the curvature and torsion that characterize this family of curves.


Some New Associated Curves Of A Frenet Curve In E^3 And E^4, Nesi̇be Maci̇t, Mustafa Düldül Jan 2014

Some New Associated Curves Of A Frenet Curve In E^3 And E^4, Nesi̇be Maci̇t, Mustafa Düldül

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, firstly, we define a W -direction curve and W -rectifying curve of a Frenet curve in 3-dimensional Euclidean space E^3 by using the unit Darboux vector field W of the Frenet curve and give some characterizations together with the relationships between the curvatures of each associated curve. We also introduce a V -direction curve, which is associated with a curve lying on an oriented surface in E^3. Later, some new associated curves of a Frenet curve are defined in E^4.

On Biharmonic Legendre Curves In S-Space Forms, Ci̇han Özgür, Şaban Güvenç

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We study biharmonic Legendre curves in S-space forms. We find curvature characterizations of these special curves in 4 cases.
