%0 Journal Article %T On characteristic curves of developable surfaces in Euclidean 3-space %A Fatih Dogan %J Mathematics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We investigate the relationship among characteristic curves on developable surfaces. In case parameter curves coincide with these curves, we show that the base curve of a developable surface could be either a plane curve, a circular helix, a general helix or a slant helix. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.05439v1
