AN EXAMINATION OF THE CONDITION UNDER WHICH A CONCHOIDAL SURFACE IS A BONNET SURFACE IN THE EUCLIDEAN 3-SPACE

Abstract

In this study, we examine the condition of the conchoidal surface to be a Bonnet surface in Euclidean 3-space. Especially, we consider the Bonnet conchoidal surfaces which admit an infnite number of isometries. In addition, we study the necessary conditions which have to be fulflled by the surface of revolution with the rotating curve <em>c</em>(<em>t</em>) and its conchoid curve <em>c<sub>d</sub></em>(<em>t</em>) to be the Bonnet surface in Euclidean 3-space.
