Tubes of Finite II-Type in the Euclidean 3-Space
Author:
Abstract: In this paper, we consider surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space E3 which are of finite II-type, that is, they are of finite type, in the sense of B.-Y. Chen, corresponding to the second fundamental form. We present an important family of surfaces, namely, tubes in E3. We show that tubes are of infinite II-type.
