In this paper, we study the computation of curvatures at the singular points of algebraic curves and surfaces. The idea is to convert the problem to compute the curvatures of the corresponding regular parametric curves and surfaces, which…

We investigate the curves in the complex plane which are generated by sequences of real numbers being the lifts of the points on the orbit of an orientation preserving circle homeomorphism. Geometrical properties of these curves such as…

In this paper, we introduce a new class of curves \alpha called a f-rectifying curves, which its f-position vector defined by {\alpha}_{f}(s)=\int f(s)T(s)ds always lie in the rectifying plane of \alpha, where f is an integrable function…

We consider ruled surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space and some geometrically distinguished families of curves on them whose normal curvature has a concrete form. The aim of this paper is to find and classify all ruled surfaces…

In this study, we investigate Bertrand curves in three dimensional dual space D3 and we obtain the characterizations of these curves in dual space D3. Also we show that involutes of a curve constitute Bertrand pair curves.

For surfaces without boundary, nonlocal notions of directional and mean curvatures have been recently given. Here, we develop alternative notions, special cases of which apply to surfaces with boundary. Our main tool is a new fractional or…

The equivalence problem of curves with values in a Riemannian manifold, is solved. The domain of validity of Frenet's theorem is shown to be the spaces of constant curvature. For a general Riemannian manifold new invariants must thus be…

We discuss some aspects of the differential geometry of curves in Minkowski space. We establish the Serret-Frenet equations in Minkowski space and use them to give a very simple proof of the fundamental theorem of curves in Minkowski space.…

In this paper we investigate the singularities of Lagrangian mean curvature flows in $\mathbf{C}^m$ by means of smooth singularity models. Type I singularities can only occur at certain times determined by invariants in the cohomology of…

We investigate some characteristic properties of specific Weingarten surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space using the nets of the lines of curvature resp. the asymptotic lines on both central surfaces of them.

The aim of this paper is to study triharmonic curves in three dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifolds. We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions for Frenet curves, and specifically for slant and Legendre curves to be triharmonic. Then we…

We investigate the evolution of open curves with fixed endpoints under the curve shortening flow, which evolves curves in proportion to their curvature. Using a distance comparison of Huisken, we determine the long-term behavior of open…

The main drawback of the Frenet frame is that it is undefined at those points where the curvature is zero. Further- more, in the case of planar curves, the Frenet frame does not agree with the standard framing of curves in the plane. The…

In [1], we gave a method for constructing Bertrand curves from the spherical curves in 3 dimensional Minkowski space. In this work, we construct the Bertrand curves corresponding to a spacelike geodesic and a null helix in Minkowski 4…

In this work, we provide a local classification of certain special classes of surfaces determined by the prescription of the radial mean curvature in terms of the height and angle functions. Moreover, we introduce a special class of…

We introduce a new notion of a curvature of a superconnection, different from the one obtained by a purely algebraic analogy with the curvature of a linear connection. The naturalness of this new notion of a curvature of a superconnection…

We characterize the extendibility of the normal curvature on frontals and we give a representation formula of this type of frontals. Also we give representation formulas for wavefronts on all types of singularities and others sub classes of…
