| Özet |
| In (n+ 1)-dimensional Euclidean space E n+ 1, harmonic curvatures and focal curvatures of a non-degenerate curve were defined by Özdamar and Hacisalihoglu in [7] and by Uribe-Vargas in [9], respectively. In this paper, we investigate the relations between the harmonic curvatures of a non-degenerate curve and the focal curvatures of tangent indicatrix of the curve. Also we give the relationship between the Frenet apparatus (vectors and the curvature functions) of a curve α in En+ 1 and the Frenet apparatus of tangent indicatrix αT of the curve α. In the main theorem of the paper, we give a characterization for a curve to be a (n-1)-spherical curve in Sn by using focal curvatures of the curve. Furtermore we give that harmonic curvature of the curve is focal curvature of the tangent indicatrix. |
