Finiteness of the total first curvature of a non-closed curve in \mathbb{E}^{n}

Publication date: 16 November 2012

Abstract: We consider a regular smooth curve in

m a t h b b E^{n}

such that its coordinates' components are the fundamental solutions of the differential equation

y^{(n)} (x) - y (x) = 0,

x i n m a t h b b R

of order

n

. We show that the total first curvature of this curve is infinite for odd

n

and is finite for even

n

.
