Warsaw: Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Mathematics, Banach Cent. Publ. 50, 137-149 (1999). The paper deals with local properties of regular space curves with non-zero curvature \(\kappa\) and torsion \(\tau\). It is shown that in the space of such curves there is a residual set of curves which satisfies certain non-degeneracy conditions on the function \(\tau/\kappa\). Also, the topologies of the spherical Darboux image, the rectifying Gaussian surface, and the rectifying developable are studied for curves meeting these non-degeneracy conditions.For the entire collection see [Zbl 0931.00034].
