differential geometry - Two definitions of Evolute of a curve ...
Aug 6, 2022 · Definition 1. The evolute of a given curve γ is another curve to which all the normals of γ are tangent. Definition 2. Given a γ, another curve is called an evolute of γ if it is an involute of the second. With the second definition, and arc-length parametrization, an internet source shows that its evolute as. γ(s) + ρ(s)N(s) + ρ(s) cot ...
What is the initial reason to define the evolute of a curve?
The evolute β β of a curve α α is the locus of all of its centre of curvatures. So basically, an evolute is the envelope of the normals to the curve. β β is an evolute of α α if α α is an involute of β β. Now, it can be proved that if β β is a unit-speed curve and if α α is an involute of β β then. α = β + (c − s)α′ α ...

$\begingroup$ The normal bundle of the curve has a 2-dimensional fibre (in our situation it Is spanned by the curvature vector and the binormal vector), hence you either show that the tangent of the evolute is a linear combination of the curvature and binormal vector, or (what is easier) you show that it is perpendicular to the tangent of the ...
