Abstract: A polynomial curve of degree 5, $alpha$, is a helix, if and only if both $||alph{a}^{\text{'}}||$ and $||alph{a}^{\text{'}}wedgealph{a}^{{\text{'}}^{\prime }}||$ are polynomial functions.

Review text

A generalized helix (curve of constant slope) in 3-space is a curve whose tangents determine a constant angle with a fixed line. The main result of the paper is that a curve \(c\) with a polynomial parametric representation \({\mathbf x} = {\mathbf x}(t)\) of degree 5 is a generalized helix if and only if both \(| | \frac{d}{dt}{\mathbf x}(t)| | \) and \(| | \frac{d}{dt}{\mathbf x}(t) \times \frac{d^2}{(dt)^2}{\mathbf x}(t)| | \) are polynomials.
