Abstract

In this paper, we define framed slant helices and give a necessary and sufficient condition for them in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Then, we introduce the spherical images of a framed curve. Also, we examine the relations between a framed slant helix and its spherical images. Moreover, we give an example of a framed slant helix and its spherical images with figures.

Summary

Introduction

Let γ be a regular curve with the Frenet apparatus {T, N, B, κ, τ } in three-dimensional Euclidean space R3. Γ is a framed helix if and only if the following equation holds: q(s) = ∓ cot φ(s), p(s) where φ is a constant angle (see [11]). 3 Framed slant helices in R3 we define a framed slant helix and its axis in three-dimensional Euclidean space R3.
