Some Characterizations of Cylindrical Helices in $E^n$
Abstract
Description
We consider a unit speed curve $α$ in Euclidean $n$-dimensional space $E^n$ and denote the Frenet frame by $\{v_1,...,v_n\}$. We say that $α$ is a cylindrical helix if its tangent vector $v_1$ makes a constant angle with a fixed direction $U$. In this work we give different characterizations of such curves in terms of their curvatures.
