Some Geometric Characterizations of f-Curves Associated with a Plane Curve via Vector Fields
The differential geometry of plane curves has many applications in physics especially in mechanics. The curvature of a plane curve plays a role in the centripetal acceleration and the centripetal force of a particle traversing a curved path in a plane. In this paper, we introduce the concept of the...

| Summary: | The differential geometry of plane curves has many applications in physics especially in mechanics. The curvature of a plane curve plays a role in the centripetal acceleration and the centripetal force of a particle traversing a curved path in a plane. In this paper, we introduce the concept of the f-curves associated with a plane curve which are more general than the well-known curves such as involute, evolute, parallel, symmetry set, and midlocus. In fact, we introduce the f-curves associated with a plane curve via its normal and tangent for both the cases, a Frenet curve and a Legendre curve. Moreover, the curvature of an f-curve has been obtained in several approaches. |
