On the space of C^1 regular curves on sphere with constrained curvature

Publication date 24 November 2021

Abstract: Let

denote the set of

C^{1}

regular curves in the

2

-sphere

m a t h b b S^{2}

that start and end at given points with the corresponding Frenet frames

and

, whose tangent vectors are Lipschitz continuous, and their a.e. existing geodesic curvatures have essentially bounds in

(k a p p a_{1}, k a p p a_{2})

,

- i n f t y < k a p p a_{1} < k a p p a_{2} < i n f t y

. In this article, firstly we study the geometric property of the curves in

. We introduce the concepts of the lower and upper curvatures at any point of a

C^{1}

regular curve and prove that a

C^{1}

regular curve is in

if and only if the infimum of its lower curvature and the supremum of its upper curvature are constrained in

(k a p p a_{1}, k a p p a_{2})

. Secondly we prove that the

C^{0}

and

C^{1}

topologies on

are the same. Further, we show that a curve in

can be determined by the solutions of differential equation

P h i^{'} (t) = P h i (t) L a m b d a (t)

with

P h i (t) i n e x t r m {S O}_{3} (m a t h b b R)

with special constraints to

L a m b d a (t) i n m a t h f r a k {s o}_{3} (m a t h b b R)

and give a complete metric on

such that it becomes a (trivial) Banach manifold.
