Direction Curves Associated with Darboux Vectors Fields and Their Characterizations

In this paper, we consider the Darboux frame of a curve α lying on an arbitrary regular surface and we use its unit osculator Darboux vector D ¯ o , unit rectifying Darboux vector D ¯ r , and unit normal Darboux vector D ¯ n to define some direction curves such as D ¯ o -direction curve, D ¯ r -direction curve, and D ¯ n -direction curve, respectively. We prove some relationships between α and these associated curves. Especially, the necessary and sufficient conditions for each direction curve to be a general helix, a spherical curve, and a curve with constant torsion are found. In addition to this, we have seen the cases where the Darboux invariants δ o , δ r , and δ n are, respectively, zero. Finally, we enrich our study by giving some examples.

Some Special Ruled Surfaces Generated by a Direction Curve according to the Darboux Frame and their Characterizations

In this work, we consider the Darboux frame T , V , U of a curve lying on an arbitrary regular surface and we construct ruled surfaces having a base curve which is a V -direction curve. Subsequently, a detailed study of these surfaces is made in the case where the directing vector of their generatrices is a vector of the Darboux frame, a Darboux vector field. Finally, we give some examples for special curves such as the asymptotic line, geodesic curve, and principal line, with illustrations of the different cases studied.

Elastic magnetic curves of Ferromagnetic and superparamagnetic models on the surface

We are interested in defining new energy functionals and solving them by using the variational approach method and Darboux equations. That is, we aim to define a new class of elastic curves on the regular surface [Formula: see text]. We further improve an alternative method to find critical points of the bending energy functionals acting on a class of magnetic curves on [Formula: see text]. As a result, we classify these critical curves as elastic magnetic curves of the Darboux vector family.

A new approach to the bienergy and biangle of a moving particle lying in a surface of lorentzian space

In this research, we study bienergy and biangles of moving particles lying on the surface of Lorentzian 3-space by using their energy and angle values. We present the geometrical characterization of bienergy of the particle in Darboux vector fields depending on surface. We also give the relationship between bienergy of the surface curve and bienergy of the elastic surface curve. We conclude the paper by providing bienergy-curve graphics for different cases.

N-BISHOP DARBOUX VECTOR OF A TIMELIKE CURVE IN MINKOWSKI 3-SPACE

It is known that a Bishop frame of a curve is one of the effective alternative approach in the differential geometry. Recently, several important works have been done about the Bishop frames. The aim of our paper is to investigate the N-Bishop frame for timelike curves in Minkowski space. We define the N-Bishop frame for the timelike curve in Minkowski space. Then, we consider some properties of the frame. Moreover, we describe the N-Bishop Darboux frame for the first time. Additionally, we compute some geometrical characterizations for the N-Bishop Darboux axis and momentum rotation vector.

Spherical Images of W-Direction Curves in Euclidean 3-Space

In this paper, we study the spherical indicatrices of W-direction curves in three dimensional Euclidean space which were defined by using the unit Darboux vector field W of a Frenet curve. We obtain the Frenet apparatus of these spherical indicatrices and the characterizations of being general helix and slant helix. Moreover we give some properties between the spherical indicatrices and their associated curves.
