Abstract

In this study, by using the facts that det({\alpha}^{(1)}, {\alpha}^{(2)}, {\alpha}^{(3)}) = 0 characterizes plane curve, and det({\alpha}^{(2)}, {\alpha}^{(3)}, {\alpha}^{(4)}) = 0 does a curve of constant slope, we give the special space curves that are characterized by det({\alpha}^{(3)}, {\alpha}^{(4)}, {\alpha}^{(5)}) = 0, in different approaches. We find that the space curve is Salkowski if and only if det({\alpha}^{(3)}, {\alpha}^{(4)}, {\alpha}^{(5)}) = 0. The approach we used in this paper is useful in understanding the role of the curves that are characterized by det({\alpha}^{(3)}, {\alpha}^{(4)}, {\alpha}^{(5)})=0 in differential geometry.
