  • Parametric curves with Pythagorean binormal
    Kozak, Jernej ; Knez, Marjetka, 1978- ; Vitrih, Vito, 1981-
    In this paper, a class of rational spatial curves that have a rational binormal is introduced . Such curves (called PB curves) play an important role in the derivation of rational rotation-minimizing ... osculating frames. The PB curve construction proposed is based upon the dual curve representation and the Euler-Rodrigues frame obtained from quaternion polynomials. The construction significantly simplifies if the curve is a polynomial one. Further, polynomial PB curves of the degree ▫$\ge 7$▫ and rational PB curves of the degree ▫$\ge 6$▫ that possess rational rotation-minimizing osculating frames are derived, and it is shown that no lower degree curves, constructed from quadratic quaternion polynomials, with such a property exist.
