Fundamental theorem of regular space curves by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-29 Updated 2026-10-14
Smooth functions and determine a unit-speed space curve with curvature and torsion , uniquely up to a proper Euclidean motion of Euclidean three-space. Solve the Frenet-Serret formulas for an oriented orthonormal frame and integrate its tangent for existence; uniqueness for the frame ordinary differential equation gives rigidity.
This is the space-curve version of the fundamental theorem of curves.
