In this paper we give a new definition of harmonic curvature functions in terms of B2 and we define a new kind of slant helix which we call quaternionic B2−slant helix in 4−dimensional Euclidean space E 4 by using the new harmonic curvature functions. Also we define a vector field D which we call Darboux quaternion of the real quaternionic B2−slant helix in 4−dimensional Euclidean space E 4 and we give a new characterization such as:where H2, H1 are harmonic curvature functions and K is the principal curvature function of the curve α.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
