Characterizations of slant helices in Euclidean 3-space

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the relations between a general helix and a slant helix. Moreover, we obtain some differential equations which they are characterizations for a space curve to be a slant helix. Also, we obtain the slant helix equations and its Frenet aparatus.In this paper we investigate the relations between a general helix and a slant helix.
