In this paper, we study ruled surfaces and quadrics in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space which are of finite $III$-type, that is, they are of finite type, in the sense of B.-Y. Chen, with respect to the third fundamental form. We show that helicoids and spheres are the only ruled and quadric surfaces of finite $III$-type, respectively.
In this paper, we consider surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space E3 which are of finite III-type, that is, they are of finite type, in the sense of B.-Y. Chen, corresponding to the third fundamental form. We present an important family of surfaces, namely, tubes in E3 .We show that tubes are of infinite III-type.
We consider translation surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space which are of coordinate finite type with respect to the third fundamental form $III$, i.e. their position vector $x$ satisfies the relation $Δ^{III}x = Λx$, where $Λ$ is a square matrix of order 3. We show that Sherk's minimal surface is the only translation surface satisfying $Δ^{III}x = Λx$.
We deal with hypersurfaces in the framework of the $n$-dimensional relative differential geometry. We consider a hypersurface $\varPhi$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with position vector field $\mathbf{x}$, which is relatively normalized by a relative normalization $\mathbf{y}$. Then $\mathbf{y}$ is also a relative normalization of every member of the one-parameter family $\mathcal{F}$ of hypersurfaces $\varPhi_μ$ with position vector field $$\mathbf{x}_μ= \mathbf{x} + μ\, \mathbf{y},$$ where $μ$ is a real constant. We call every hypersurface $\varPhi_μ\in \mathcal{F}$ relatively parallel to $\varPhi$ at the "relative distance" $μ$. In this paper we study (a) the shape (or Weingarten) operator, (b) the relative principal curvatures, (c) the relative mean curvature functions and (d) the affine normalization of a relatively parallel hypersurface $\left( \varPhi_μ,\mathbf{y}\right)$ to $\left(\varPhi,\mathbf{y}\right)$.
This paper deals with skew ruled surfaces in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$ which are equipped with polar normalizations, that is, relative normalizations such that the relative normal at each point of the ruled surface lies on the corresponding polar plane. We determine the invariants of a such normalized ruled surface and we study some properties of the Tchebychev vector field and the support vector field of a polar normalization. Furthermore, we study a special polar normalization, the relative image of which degenerates into a curve.
We deal with hypersurfaces in the framework of the relative differential geometry in $\mathbb{R}^4$. We consider a hypersurface $\varPhi$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with position vector field $\vect{x}$ which is relatively normalized by a relative normalization $\vect{y}$. Then $\vect{y}$ is also a relative normalization of every member of the one-parameter family $\mathcal{F}$ of hypersurfaces $\varPhi_μ$ with position vector field $\vect{x}_μ= \vect{x} + μ\, \vect{y}$, where $μ$ is a real constant. We call every hypersurface $\varPhi_μ\in \mathcal{F}$ relatively parallel to $\varPhi$. This consideration includes both Euclidean and Blaschke hypersurfaces of the affine differential geometry. In this paper we express the relative mean curvature's functions of a hypersurface $\varPhi_μ$ relatively parallel to $\varPhi$ by means of the ones of $\varPhi$ and the "relative distance" $μ$. Then we prove several Bonnet's type theorems. More precisely, we show that if two relative mean curvature's functions of $\varPhi$ are constant, then there exists at least one relatively parallel hypersurface with a constant relative mean curvature's function.
This paper is devoted to the 3-dimensional relative differential geometry of surfaces. In the Euclidean space $\R{E} ^3 $ we consider a surface $\varPhi %\colon \vect{x} = \vect{x}(u^1,u^2) $ with position vector field $\vect{x}$, which is relatively normalized by a relative normalization $\vect{y}% (u^1,u^2) $. A surface $\varPhi^*% \colon \vect{x}^* = \vect{x}^*(u^1,u^2) $ with position vector field $\vect{x}^* = \vect{x} + μ\, \vect{y}$, where $μ$ is a real constant, is called a relatively parallel surface to $\varPhi$. Then $\vect{y}$ is also a relative normalization of $\varPhi^*$. The aim of this paper is to formulate and prove the relative analogues of two well known theorems of O.~Bonnet which concern the parallel surfaces (see~\cite{oB1853}).
This paper deals with skew ruled surfaces $\varPhi$ in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$ which are right normalized, that is they are equipped with relative normalizations, whose support function is of the form $q(u,v) = \frac{f(u) + g(u)\, v}{w(u,v)}$, where $w^2(u,v)$ is the discriminant of the first fundamental form of $\varPhi$. This class of relatively normalized ruled surfaces contains surfaces such that their relative image $\varPhi^{*}$ is either a curve or it is as well as $\varPhi$ a ruled surface whose generators are, additionally, parallel to those of $\varPhi$. Moreover we investigate various properties concerning the Tchebychev vector field and the support vector field of such ruled surfaces.
This paper deals with relative normalizations of skew ruled surfaces in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$. In section 2 we investigate some new formulae concerning the Pick invariant, the relative curvature, the relative mean curvature and the curvature of the relative metric of a relatively normalized ruled surface $\varPhi$ and in section 3 we introduce some special normalizations of it. All ruled surfaces and their corresponding normalizations that make $\varPhi$ an improper or a proper relative sphere are determined in section 4. In the last section we study ruled surfaces, which are \emph{centrally} normalized, i.e., their relative normals at each point lie on the corresponding central plane. Especially we study various properties of the Tchebychev vector field. We conclude the paper by the study of the central image of $\varPhi$.
We consider ruled and quadric surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space which are of coordinate finite type with respect to the third fundamental form $III$, i.e., their position vector $\boldsymbol{x}$ satisfies the relation $Δ^{III}\boldsymbol{x}=\varLambda \boldsymbol{x}$ where $\varLambda $ is a square matrix of order 3. We show that helicoids and spheres are the only surfaces in $E^3$ satisfying the preceding relation.
In this paper we deal with relative normalizations of hypersurfaces in the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Considering a relative normalization $\bar{y}$ of an hypersurface $Φ$ we decompose the corresponding Tchebychev vector $\bar{T}$ in two components, one parallel to the Tchebychev vector $\bar{T}_{EUK}$ of the Euclidean normalization $\barξ$ and one parallel to the orthogonal projection $\bar{y}_{T}$ of $\bar{y}$ in the tangent hyperplane of $Φ$. We use this decomposition to investigate some properties of $Φ$, which concern its Gaussian curvature, the support function, the Tchebychev vector field etc.
We consider skew ruled surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space and some geometrically distinguished families of curves on them whose normal curvature has a concrete form. The aim of this paper is to find and classify all ruled surfaces with the mentioned property.
We investigate some characteristic properties of specific Weingarten surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space using the nets of the lines of curvature resp. the asymptotic lines on both central surfaces of them.
We investigate some relations concerning the first and the second Beltrami operators corresponding to the fundamental forms I, II, III of a surface in the three-dimensional Euclidean space and we study surfaces which are of finite type in the sense of B.-Y. Chen with respect to the fundamental forms II and III.
We consider relative normalizations of ruled surfaces with non-vanishing Gaussian curvature $K$ in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R} ^{3}$, which are characterized by the support functions $^{\left( α\right) }q=\left \vert K\right \vert ^α$ for $α\in \mathbb{R}$ (Manhart's relative normalizations). All ruled surfaces for which the relative normals, the Pick invariant or the Tchebychev vector field have some specific properties are determined. We conclude the paper by the study of the affine normal image of a non-conoidal ruled surface.
We consider surfaces of revolution in the three-dimensional Euclidean space which are of coordinate finite type with respect to the third fundamental form. We show that a surface of revolution satisfying the preceding relation is a catenoid or part of a sphere.
We consider the Laplace normal vector field of relatively normalized ruled surfaces with non-vanishing Gaussian curvature in the three-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. We determine all ruled surfaces and all relative normalizations for which the Laplace normal image degenerates into a point or into a curve. Moreover, we study the Laplace normal image of a non-conoidal ruled surface whose relative normals lie on the asymptotic plane.
We consider hypersurfaces in the real Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ ($n\geq2$) which are relatively normalized. We give necessary and sufficient conditions a) for a surface of negative Gaussian curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ to be ruled, b) for a hypersurface of positive Gaussian curvature in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ to be a hyperquadric and c) for a relative normalization to be constantly proportional to the equiaffine normalization.
