P-51 A space curve satisfying t/k = t
Abstract
In 1802, Lancret stated that a necessary and sufficient condition for a curve to be a general helix is that the ratio t/k be constant where k is the curvature and t is the torsion of the curve. My goal is to investigate the case when the ration t/k is a linear function, i.e. t/k = t.
