Parametric representation of a surface pencil with a common asymptotic curve

Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of finding a surface pencil from a given spatial asymptotic curve. We obtain the parametric representation for a surface pencil whose members have the same curve as a given asymptotic curve. Using the Frenet frame of the given asymptotic curve, we present the surface as a linear combination of this frame and analyse the necessary and sufficient condition for that curve to be asymptotic. We illustrate this method by presenting some examples.
