Joining arcs of helices it is pretty easy to obtain closed curves with constant curvature and $C^2$ regularity (see http://www.heldermann-verlag.de/jgg/jgg01_05/jgg0203.pdf). Joining arcs of Salkowski ...

We know that for $n\geq 2$ the de Sitter space $\mathbb{S}^n_1(r)$ and the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n(r)$ have constant curvature $1/r^2$ and $-1/r^2$, respectively. Looking at references such as ...

Chakerian proved in this paper that a closed curve of length L in the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ has total curvature at least L. In this later paper Chakerian gave a simpler proof and noted that ...

I am working on Bayesian statistical estimation of parameters (control points) of closed B-spline curve bounding an object on a an image. The problem is that I require those curves to not be much &...
