In this work we give characterizations helices terms curvature torsion Finally, discuss tangent binormal indicatrices curves, proving they are <TEX>$E_1^3$</TEX>.

A constant angle surface in Minkowski space is a spacelike whose unit normal vector field makes hyperbolic with fixed timelike vector. In this work we study and classify these surfaces. particular, show that they are flat. Next prove tangent developable (resp. cylinder, cone) if only the generating curve helix straight line, circle).

We classify the family of spacelike maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space L 3 which are foliated by pieces circles. This space contains a curve singly periodic R that play same role as Riemann’s minimal examples E. As consequence, we prove annuli bounded two circles parallel planes either catenoid or surface R.

Of all public assets, road infrastructure tops the list. Roads are crucial for economic development and growth, providing access to education, health, employment. The maintenance, repair, upgrade of roads therefore vital users' health safety as well a well-functioning prosperous modern economy. EU-funded HERON project will develop an integrated automated system adequately maintain infrastructure. In turn, this reduce accidents, lower maintenance costs, increase network capacity efficiency....

Abstract We classify all rotational surfaces in Euclidean space whose principal curvatures κ 1 and 2 satisfy the linear relation , where a b are two constants. As consequence of this classification, we find closed (embedded not embedded) periodic with geometric behaviour similar to Delaunay surfaces. Finally, give variational characterization generating curves these

Abstract The concept of catenary has been recently extended to the sphere and hyperbolic plane by second author (López, arXiv:2208.13694 ). In this work, we define catenaries on any Riemannian surface. A a surface is critical point potential functional, where calculate with intrinsic distance fixed reference geodesic. Adopting semi-geodesic coordinates around geodesic, characterize using their curvature. Finally, after revisiting space-form catenaries, consider surfaces revolution (where...

Smooth axially symmetric Helfrich topological spheres are either round or else they must satisfy a second order equation known as the reduced membrane [17]. In this paper, we show that, conversely, closed genus zero solutions of which, in addition, rescaling condition spheres. We also exploit characterization to geometrically describe these surfaces and present convincing evidence that with respect suitable plane orthogonal axis rotation belong particular infinite discrete family surfaces.

Spacelike intrinsic rotational surfaces with constant mean curvature in the Lorentz-Minkowski space $\E_1^3$ have been recently investigated by Brander et al., extending known Smyth's Euclidean space. In this paper, we give an approach to analogue of . Assuming that surface is coordinates $(u,v)$ and conformal factor $\rho(u)^2$, replace constancy property Weingarten endomorphism $A$ can be expressed as $\Phi_{-\alpha(v)}\left(\begin{array}{ll}\lambda_1(u)&amp;0\\...
