The rotational curvature of plane curves Cover

Abstract

We introduce and study a new curvature function for plane curves inspired by the weighted mean curvature of M. Gromov. We call it rotational being the difference between the usual curvature and the inner product of the normal vector field and the angular vector field. But, since the problem of vanishing of this curvature involves complicated expressions we define a second rotational curvature. Both these curvatures are computed for several examples.
