Abstract

A novel formulation of the Lie-Darboux method of obtaining the Riccati equations for the spatial curves in Euclidean three-dimensional space is presented. It leads to two Riccati equations that differ by the sign of torsion. The case of cylindrical helices is used as an illustrative example. Possible applications in Physics are suggested.
