Spherical orthotomic curve-germs

Abstract: In this paper, it is shown that for an

n

-dimensional spherical unit speed curve

g a m m a : I o S^{n}

, a given point

P i n S^{n}

and a point

s_{0}

of the open interval

I

, the spherical orthotomic curve-germ

o r t_{g a m m a, P} : (I, s_{0}) o S^{n}

of

g a m m a

relative to

P

is

m a t h c a l L

-equivalent to the spherical pedal curve-germ

p e d_{g a m m a, P} : (I, s_{0}) o S^{n}

of

g a m m a

relative to

P

(resp., the spherical dual curve-germ

of

g a m m a

) if and only if

(resp., if

).
