  • The purpose of this paper is to study the geometry of null curves in a Lorentzian manifold (M, g). We show that it is possible to construct new type of Frenet equations of null curves in M, supported by two examples.

  • The purpose of this paper is to study the geometry of null curves in a 6-dimensional semi-Riemannian manifold $M_q$ of index q, since the general n-dimensional cases are too complicated. We show that it is possible to construct three types of Frenet equations of null curves in $M_q$, supported by one example. We find each types of Frenet equations invariant under any causal change. And we discuss some properties of null curves in $M_q$.

Multilevel Editing for Hierarchical B-spline Curves using Rotation Minimizing Frames (RMF을 이용한 계층적 B-spline 곡선의 다단계 편집기법)

  • We present a new technique for multilevel editing of hierarchical B-spline curves. At each level, control points of a displacement function are expressed in the rotation minimizing frames (RMFs) [1] which are computed on nodal points of the curve at previous level. When the curve is edited at previous level, the corresponding RMFs are updated and the control points of the displacement function at current level are applied to the new RMFs, which maintains the relative details of the curve at current level to those of previous level. We demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed technique using several experimental results.
