3 Geometry of cylindrical curves 5639 a class of space curves Definition 1 Iet α = α(t), t I R be a plane C 3 curve in the Euclidean plane E O e 1 e with a vector parametric equation α(t) = (x(t), y(t), 0) parameterized by an arbitrary parameter t I Then the space curve γ = γ(t), t I with a parametric representation γ(t) = (x(t), y(t), bt) = α(t) + bt e 3, b = const (1) is called a cylindrical curve over the plane curve α(t) The cylindrical (or generalized) helix is a regular space curve in E 3 whose tangent vector makes a constant angle with a fixed direction It is easy to show that any cylindrical (generalized) helix possesses a parametrization in the form (1) Let γ = γ(s), s I be a unit-speed generalized helix Suppose that its tangents make a constant angle φ {0, π/} with a fixed unit vector l o Let O e1 e e 3 be a right-handed orthonormal coordinate system in the Euclidean space E 3, where e 3 l If γ(s) = (x(s), y(s), z(s)) is an arc-length parametrization of γ, then cos φ = t, e 3 = d z(s), where t = t(s) is the unit d s tangent vector of γ and, denotes a dot product Hence, z(s) = cos φs, provided that z(0) = 0 Then, we can determine the curve γ by the vector parametric equation γ(s) = α(s) + cos φs e 3, where α(s) = (x(s), y(s), 0) is a plane curve in the coordinate plane O e 1 e It is natural to find the relation between the Euclidean curvature κ = κ(t) and the Euclidean torsion τ = τ(t) of the cylindrical curve γ = γ(t), t I and the signed curvature K = K(t) of the corresponding plane curve α = α(t), t I Further in this section, we denote by the differentiation with respect to an arbitrary parameter and by the differentiation with respect to an arc-length parameter of the curve Theorem Let γ = γ(t), t I be a cylindrical curve with equation (1), where α = α(t), t I is its corresponding plane curve If κ = κ(t) and τ = τ(t) are the curvature and the torsion of γ, and K = K(t) is the signed curvature of α, then [ A(t) bṡ K (3 s ṡ s + K ṡ 4 ) + Kṡ s ] κ(t) = ( ṡ + b ), τ(t) =, () 3 A(t) where s = s(t) is the arc-length function of α and A(t) = K ṡ 4 (ṡ +b )+b s Proof Let t = t(s) be the reverse function of the arc-length function s = s(t) of α Replacing in (1) we have γ(s) = γ(t(s)) = α(t(s)) + bt(s) e 3 = α(s) + bt(s) e 3 (3)
4 5640 G H Georgiev, R P Encheva and C L Dinkova We apply a differentiation with respect to the arc-length parameter s of the plane curve α From (3) it follows that γ = d γ d s = α + bt e 3 and γ = d γ d s = α + bt e 3 (4) The structure equations of the curve α are α = KJα, Jα = Kα, (5) where J is the complex structure of R It is well known that the Euclidean curvature κ = κ(t) and the Euclidean torsion τ = τ(t) of γ with respect to an arbitrary parameter t are given by κ = γ γ γ 3 and τ = det( γ, γ, γ ), (6) γ γ, γ γ where is the vector cross product of E 3,, denote the scalar (or dot) product, and is the length of the vector Since α, Jα, e 3 form an right-handed orthonormal frame of γ then from (4) and (5) we have γ γ = (α + bt e 3 ) (KJα + bt e 3 ) = K e 3 bt Jα Kbt α γ = K Jα K α + bt e 3 and Hence, κ(s) = K + b (K t + t ) ( ) 3, τ(s) = Kbt bt K + K 3 bt (7) 1 + b t K + b (K t + t ) Using the equalities s = s(t), t = 1 ṡ, t = ṡ s, t = 3ṡ ṡ s 3 get () ṡ 5 and (7) we Corollary 3 Let α = α(s), s I be a unit-speed plane curve in E and let γ = γ(s) = α(s) + bs e 3, s I be the corresponding cylindrical curve of c If κ and τ are the curvature and the torsion of γ and K is the signed curvature of α then κ = K, τ = bk, b = const 1+b 1+b The proof follows immediately from (), replacing t by s Remark 4 The condition τ = const characterizes the generalized helixes According the last corollary we may construct a generalized helix as a κ cylindrical curve over an arbitrary unit-speed plane curve
5 Geometry of cylindrical curves 5641 Differential-geometric invariants of the regular curves in E n with respect to the group of direct similarities are functions called shape curvatures (see [4] and [5] ) Essential role in this consideration plays the arc-length parameter σ of the spherical tangent indicatrix of the curve We will call this parameter a spherical arc-length parameter If the shape curvatures are known functions of the spherical arc-length parameter, then they determine a curve up to a direct similarity of the Euclidean space Usually, the shape curvatures in the Euclidean space E 3 are called a shape curvature and a shape torsion Corollary 5 Let α = α(σ), σ I be a plane curve in E, parameterized by a spherical arc-length parameter σ, and let γ = γ(σ) = α(σ) + bσ e 3, σ I be the corresponding cylindrical curve of α If κ and τ are the shape curvature and the shape torsion of γ and K is the shape curvature of α, then ( K [ 1 + b K K + K ) ( + b 4 K K + K )] κ(σ) = [ 1 + b K (1 + K )] 3/ ( b K (1 + b K ) 3/ 1 + K K ) τ(σ) = [ 1 + b K (1 + K )] 3/, where K is the Euclidean signed curvature of c (8) Proof From [4] we have dσ = Kds and K(σ) = 1 K dk Replacing the last dσ equalities in the relations () (Theorem ) we get κ(σ) = K 1 + b K (1 + K ) (1 + b K ) 3/, τ(σ) = ( bk 1 + K K ) 1 + b K (1 + K ) (9) Let s γ and σ γ be the arc-length parameter and the spherical arc-length parameter of the curve γ, respectively Hence, the tangent vector of γ is γ = dγ dσ = d α dσ + b e 3 = 1 K α + b e 3 and the first derivative of the arc-length function of γ is ṡ γ = γ = Applying the formulas dσ γ = κds γ, 1 + b K K κ(σ) = 1 κ dκ dσ dσ = 1 dσ γ κ dκ dσ 1, τ(σ) = τ(σ) from [4] and using the ṡ γ κ(σ) relations (9) we obtain (8) after some rearranges and simplifications
6 564 G H Georgiev, R P Encheva and C L Dinkova 3 Focal curves of cylindrical curves A focal curve and focal curvatures of smooth curve in m + 1-dimensional Euclidean space E m+1 were introduced by Uribe-Vargas in [8] Let γ : I E m+1 be a smooth curve parameterized by its arc-length s Suppose that the Euclidean curvatures of this curve k 1, k,, k m are nonzero, and the Frenet frame of γ is t, n 1, n,, n m The centers of osculating spheres of the curve γ = γ(s) form a new curve C γ : I E m+1 given by C γ (s) = γ(s) + c 1 n 1 + c n + + c m n m The last curve is called a focal curve of γ, and the coefficients c 1, c,, c m are smooth functions called focal curvatures of γ Note that the focal curve C γ is well-defined if and only if the curve γ does not lie on a hypersphere in E m+1 According to Theorem in [8], relations between Euclidean curvatures and focal curvatures of curve γ = γ(s) are given by k i = c 1c 1 + c c + + c i 1 c i 1 c i 1 c i i The first focal curvature c 1 never vanishes and it is given by c 1 = 1 k 1 The shape curvature and the shape torsion of a regular curve in E 3 have a natural generalization for a regular curve in E n+1 In fact, there exist n smooth functions k 1, k,, k n which determine the curve γ : I E m+1 up to a direct similarity These functions are called shape curvatures (see [4] or Ch6 in [5]) Relations between focal curvatures and shape curvatures of γ can be written in the form k 1 = c 1, k i = c 1 (c 1 c 1 + c c + + c i 1 c c i 1 c i 1), i i In the rest of the paper, we consider curves only in E and E 3 Let γ : I E 3 be a smooth curve of class C 3 parameterized by an arbitrary parameter t Assume that the Euclidean curvatures of this curve are κ 1 (t) = κ(t) > 0 and κ (t) = τ(t) 0 In [3] the following formulas for the shape curvatures are proved κ 1 = κ = 3 γ γ γ, γ γ γ γ, γ γ γ γ 3 κ = τ = τ = γ 3 det( γ, γ, γ (10) ) κ γ γ 3 Applying the well known formula for the centers of the osculating spheres of an arbitrary parameterized curve in E 3 (see for instance [1, p 8]) we get the parametric representation of the focal curve of γ C γ (t) = γ(t) + c 1 n 1 + c n, (11)
7 Geometry of cylindrical curves 5643 where n 1 is the unit principal normal vector of γ, n is the unit binormal vector of γ, c 1 = 1 κ 1 and c = κ 1 κ The cylindrical curves considered in the previous section belong to the class C 3 Therefore, we can associate a focal curve (11) to any cylindrical curve over a plane curve of class C 3 The next algorithm shows how to obtain such an associated curve Algorithm 31 A construction of a focal curve for a given cylindrical curve 1 Calculate the derivatives γ = d d γ(t), γ = γ(t) and γ = d3 γ(t) dt dt dt 3 If γ γ (0, 0, 0) for any t, then find the unit binormal vector n, the unit principle normal vector n 1 and go to Step 3, else go to Step 6 3 Compute the curvature κ 1 and the torsion κ of γ 4 If κ 0, then compute by (10) the shape curvature κ 1 and go to Step 5, else go to Step 6 5 The parametrization of the focal curve of γ is 6 The focal curve does not exist C γ (t) = γ(t) + 1 κ 1 n 1 + κ 1 κ n, (1) Now we consider an illustrative example of a focal curve of a cylindrical curve over an important plane curve Example: Consider an involute of a circle with parametrization α(t) = (a(cos t + t sin t), a(sin t t cos t)), a = const > 0, t R The cylindrical curve γ(t) over α(t) is given by γ(t) = (a(cos t + t sin t), a(sin t t cos t), bt), a > 0, b > 0, t R Since the vector γ γ = ( ab(t cos t+sin t), ab(t sin t cos t), a t ) is nonzero for any t, the space curve γ(t) is regular For the unit principle normal vector field n 1 and the unit binormal vector field n of γ we get ( b cos t tg n 1 = 1(t) sin t g 1 (t)g (t) ( b(t cos t + sin t) n =, g (t), tg 1(t) cos t + b sin t, g 1 (t)g (t) b(cos t t sin t), g (t) abt ) g 1 (t)g (t) at ), g (t)

9 Geometry of cylindrical curves 5645 The normal vector (S u S v ) γ = (S u S v ) u=v=t = ab(t sin t, t cos t), 0) to this surface along γ is not perpendicular to the binormal vector γ γ of γ because γ γ, (Su S v ) γ = a b t 0 for t 0 This means that the curve γ is not a geodesic on the cylindrical surface S(u, v) Note that the cylindrical curve γ over the involute of a circle lies also on the hyperboloid of one sheet H implicitly defined by x + y z = 1 For a = 0 and b = 50 the involute a a b of a circle (in green), the corresponding cylindrical curve γ (in red) on the hyperboloid H, the focal curve (in blue) of γ are plotted from left to right in Fig 1 4 A general construction of a cylindrical curve over a plane curve The results from the previous two section can be extended to a wider class of cylindrical curves Theorem 41 Let α(t) = (x(t), y(t)), t I R be regular plane curve of class C 3 whit nonzero signed curvature, and let f(t) C 3 be a real-valued function Suppose that e 3 is the unit vector on Oz-axis and γ(t) = α(t) + f(t) e 3, t I is a parameterized space curve Then, γ(t) is a regular curve whose curvature and torsion are given by α, J α + f α f α, f α f α κ = ( ) 3 (13) α, α + f τ = f α, J α + f J α, α + f J α, α α, J α + f α f α, f α f α (14) Proof: The condition for a nonzero signed curvature of α is equivalent to ẋÿ ẍẏ 0 for any t I Then the binormal vector of γ γ γ = ( fẏ fÿ, fẍ fẋ, ẋÿ ẍẏ) is nonzero for any t I This implies that γ is a regular space curve and γ γ = ( fẏ fÿ) + ( fẍ fẋ) + (ẋÿ ẍẏ) = f ċ, ċ f f ċ, c + f c, c + Jċ, c
10 5646 G H Georgiev, R P Encheva and C L Dinkova ċ, Clearly, the norm of tangent vector γ is γ = ċ + f Replacing the above expressions of γ and γ γ in the first formula of (6) we get (13) The triple vector product of γ, γ and γ can be represent by det( γ, γ, γ ) = γ γ, γ = ( fẏ fÿ) x + ( fẍ fẋ) y + (ẋÿ ẍẏ) f Then, using the formula for torsion in (6) we obtain (14) Let α(t) = (ae ct cos t, ae ct sin t), a > 0, t R be a logarithmic spiral and let f(t) = be ct, b > 0, c > 0, t R be a real-valued function Consider a cylindrical curve over logarithmic spiral γ(t) = ( ae ct cos t, ae ct sin t, be ct), (15) where a, b and c are positive real constants First, we observe that γ(t) is a regular space curve In fact, the vector γ γ = a( abce ct (c cos t sin t), abce ct (c sin t + cos t), a (1 + c )e ct ) is nonzero for any t The arc-length function of γ is given by a + (a s γ (t) = + b ) c e ct c Furthermore, the unit principle normal vector n 1 and the unit binrmal vector n of γ are cos t + c sin t c cos t sin t n 1 (t) = (,, 0) 1 + c 1 + c n (t) = bc ( c cos t sin t, a (1 + c ) + b c 1 + c cos t + c sin t 1 + c, a 1 + c ) bc From n 1, e 3 = 0 it follows that the curve γ given by (15) is a slant helix Second, using (6) we calculate the Euclidean curvature and the Euclidean torsion of γ: κ γ 1 = κ γ = a 1 + c e ct a + (a + b ) c, κγ = τ γ bce ct = b c + a (1 + c ) Third, according to (10) the shape curvature and the shape torsion of γ are κ 1 γ = κ γ = c a + (a + b ) c a 1 + c, κ γ = τ γ = bc a 1 + c (16) Hence, the curve γ possesses a constant shape curvature and a constant shape torsion Such a kind of a space curve is called self-similar Other representations of self-similar curves are given in ([3]) and ([4]) The focal curvatures c γ 1 = 1 κ and c γ γ = κ 1 1 γ κ γ can be expressed as c γ 1 = (a + (a + b ) c ) e ct a, c γ = (a + (a + b ) c ) 3/ e ct 1 + c ab 1 + c
