Rotation minimizing vector fields and frames were introduced by Bishop as an alternative to the Frenet frame. They are used in CAGD because they can be defined even the curvature vanishes. Nevertheless, many other geometric properties have…

The traditional study of plane and space algebraic curves by looking at their tangent vectors, curvatures and torsions provides geometric, but unfortunately not sufficient information about individual curves in order to be able to…

In this paper, tangent-, principal normal-, and binormal-wise associated curves are defined such that each of these vectors of any given curve lies on the osculating, normal, and rectifying plane of its mate, respectively. For each…

In classical curve theory, the geometry of a curve in three dimensions is essentially characterized by their invariants, curvature and torsion. When they are given, the problem of finding a corresponding curve is known as 'solving natural…

We develop an invariant local theory of Lorentz surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 4-space by use of a linear map of Weingarten type. We find a geometrically determined moving frame field at each point of the surface and obtain a system of…

This paper presents a new approach for dimension reduction of data observed in a sphere. Several dimension reduction techniques have recently developed for the analysis of non-Euclidean data. As a pioneer work, Hauberg (2016) attempted to…
