Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the parametric representation for a family of surfaces through a given geodesic curve G3. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for this curve to be an isogeodesic curve on the parametric surfaces using Frenet frame in Galilean space. Also, for the sake of visualizing of this study, we plot an example for this surfaces family.

1 Introduction

Geodesics have a very important role in surface theory and physics. One of the primary reasons why they are so important for physics is that any mass point is not acted on by any forces but is constrained to remain on a fixed surfaces moves on a geodesic line of the surface. Also geodesics play a role in the Lagrange equations of the first kind. Geodesics are so important is that they generalize (locally) the shortest path between points in the space. Geodesics have been commonly studied in Riemannian geometry, more generally metric geometry and general relativity. More precisely, a curve in a surface is said to be geodesic if its geodesic curvature is equally zero. In other words the normal vector of a curve is everywhere parallel to the normal of the surface. Geodesics are helpful in many areas, for example; computer vision, industrial applications and image processing. Moreover, surface with common geodesic is one of the most important research topics in Differential Geometry. Some more studies and results about surfaces in G3 have been given in[1-4]

There are nine related plane geometries including Euclidean geometry, hyperbolic geometry and elliptic geometry. The Galilean geometry is one of these geometries whose motions are the Galilean transformations of classical kinematics[5]. There has been a lot of studying about the Differential geometry of the Galilean space G3 in[6-9.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the parametric representation of surface through a given isogeodesic curve in Galilean space G3. We derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the given curve as the geodesic and isoparametric on the parametric surface. Also, we define the family of parametric surfaces with common geodesic curve in Galilean space G3. Finally, for the sake of visualizing of this study, we demonstrate an example for this family of surfaces.

We present this paper from the Galilean point of view. The results can be easily transferred to the Pseudo-Galilean geometry with minor changes.

2 Preliminaries

The Galilean space G3 is a Cayley-Klein space equipped with the projective metric of signature (0,0,+,+), given in[10]. The absolute figure of the Galilean space consists of an ordered triple{ω, f, I} in which ω is the ideal (absolute) plane, f is the line (absolute line) in ω and I is the fixed elliptic involution of points of f.

Definition 2.1

A vector x = (x1, x2, x3) is called a non-isotropic if x1 ≠ 0. All unit isotropic vectors are of the form x = (1,x2, x3). For isotropic vectors x1 = 0 holds.

Definition 2.2

The Galilean scalar product between two vectors x = (x1, x2, x3) and y = (y1, y2, y3) vectors in G3, is given by

x,y=x1y1,if x10 or y10x2y2+x3y3,if x1=0 and y1=0,

in[11].

Definition 2.3

Let x = (x1, x2, x3) and y = (y1, y2, y3) be vectors in G3, the cross product of the vectors x and y is defined as follows

xy=0e2e3x1x2x3y1y2y3=(0,x3y1x1y3,x1y2x2y1),

in[11].

An admissible curve r of the class Cr (r > 3) in G3, and parametrized by the invariant parameter u, is given by

ru=u,fu,gu.

For an admissible curve, the associated invariant moving trihedron satisfies the following equation

tu=ru=1,fu,gu,nu=ruκu=1κu0,fu,gu,bu=1κu0,gu,fu,

where t, n and b are called the vectors of the tangent, principal normal and binormal of r(u), respectively, and the curvature κ(u) and the torsion τ (u) of the curve r can be given by, respectively,

κu=fu2+gu2,τu=detru,ru,ruκ2u,

Frenet formulas may be written as

t=κn,n=τb,b=τn,

in[12].

Definition 2.4

Let M is a surface in G3, the equation of a surface in G3 can be expressed as the parametrization

ϕu,υ=ϕ1u,υ,ϕ2u,υ,ϕ3u,υ,u,υR,

where ϕ1(u, υ), ϕ2(u, υ) and ϕ3(u, υ) ∈ C3, in\cite{13}.

Also, the isotropic normal vector field is given by

ηu,v=ϕu×ϕv,

where ϕu and ϕv are partial differentiations with respect to u and v, respectively.

3 Surfaces with Common Geodesic Curve in Galilean Space G3

Let ϕ = ϕ (u, v) be a parametric surface on the arc-length parametrized curve r(u) in G3. The surface is defined by

ϕu,v=r(u)+[xu,vtu+yu,vnu+zu,vbu],(1)
L1uL2 and T1vT2,(2)

where x(u, v), y(u, v) and z(u, v) are C1 functions {t(u), n(u), b(u)} is the frame associated with the curve r(u) in G3.

The normal η(u, v) of the surface is given by

ηu,v=ϕu×ϕv,(3)

from (1)

ϕu=1+xut+kx+yuτzn+τy+zub,ϕv=xvt+yvn+zvb,

Taking account (3), the normal vector η(u, v) can be expressed as

ηu,v=1+xuzv+τy+zuxvn+1+xuyvkx+yuτzxvb,

Let r(u) be a curve on a surface ϕ(u, v) in G3. If r(u) is isoparametric curve on this surface, then there exists a parameter v = v0 such that r(u) = ϕ(u, v0), that is

xu,v0=yu,v0=zu,v0=0.(4)

From (4), we get

ηu,v0=1+xuzv+zuxvn+1+xuyvyuxvb.

According to[14], the curve r(u) on the surface ϕ(u, v) is geodesic if and only if the normal vector n(u) of the curve r(u) is everywhere parallel to the normal vector η(u, v0) of the surface ϕ(u, v). Then, n(u) ‖ η(u, v0) if and only if

1+xuzv+zuxv0,1+xuyvyuxv=0.(5)

Thus, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the surface ϕ to have the curve r(u) in G3 as an isoparametric and geodesic can be given with the following theorem.

Theorem 3.1

Let ϕ be a surface having a curve r(u) in the 3-dimensional Galilean space with parametrization (1). The curve r(u) is isogeodesic on a surface ϕ(u, v) if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:

xu,v0=yu,v0=zu,v0=0,1+xuzv+zuxv0,1+xuyvyuxv=0.

We call the set of surfaces given by (1) and satisfying (4) and (5) the family of surfaces with common isogeodesic in G3. Any surface ϕ(u, v) defined by(1) and satisfying (4) and (5) is a member of the family.

The functions x(u, v), y(u, v) and z(u, v) can be chosen in two different forms:

Case 1

If we take

xu,v=i=1pa1iluixvi,yu,v=i=1pa2imuiyvi,zu,v=i=1pa3inuizvi,(6)

then, the sufficient condition for which the curve r(u) is an isogeodesic curve on the surface ϕ(u, v) can be given as

xv0=yv0=zv0=0,a21=0 or mu=0 or dyv0dv=0,a310 and nu0,and dzv0dv0,(7)

where l(u), m(u), n(u), x(v), y(v) and z(v) are C1 functions, aijR (i = 1, 2, 3;j = 1, 2,…,p) and l(u), m(u) and n(u) are not identically zero.

For the case when the functions x(u, v), y(u, v) and z(u, v) depend only on the parameter v, the family of surfaces with common geodesic becomes

ϕu,v=r(u)+xvtu+yvnu+zvbu.
Case 2

If we take

xu,v=f(luxv),yu,v=g(muyv),zu,v=h(nuzv),(8)

then, the sufficient condition for which the curve r(u) is an isogeodesic curve on the surface ϕ(u, v) can be expressed as

xv0=yv0=zv0=0 and f0=g0=h0=0,mu=0 or g0=0 or dyv0dv=0,nu0 and h00 and dzv0dv0,

where l(u), m(u), n(u), x(v), y(v), z(v), f, g and h are C1 functions and l(u), m(u) and n(u) are not identically zero.

So, we get the functions in (6) and (8) which are general for expressing surfaces with a given curve as an isogeodesic curve in G3. Also, different types of these functions can be chosen according to Theorem 3.1.

Example 3.1

Let r be a parametrized by

ru=u,sinu,cosu.

It is easy to calculate that

t=1,cosu,sinu,n=0,sinu,cosu,b=0,cosu,sinu,

where κ = 1 is the curvature and τ = 1 is the torsion of the curve in G3.

Then, we obtain the surfaces family with the common isogeodesic. If we take

xu,v=0,yu,v=1cosv and zu,v=sinv,

and v0 = 0 such that Equation (7) is satisfied. Thus, a member of this family is obtained by

ϕu,v=[u,sinu(1cosv)sinu+sinvcosu,cosu(1cosv)cosusinvsinu].

4 Conclusions

We showed the parametric representation for a family of surfaces through a given geodesic curve G3. We gave a theorem related to the curve r(u) is isogeodesic on a surface ϕ(u, v). Consequently, an example for this surfaces family was plotted.
