Abstract. In this study, we first gave the Darboux vector according to the alternative frame. Then we formed
a Sabban frame of spherical indicatrix curve of D-alternative vector defined by a differentiable curve. Then the
geodesic curvature of this vector is calculated according to this frame. Finally we defined Smarandache curves
generated by the Sabban frame and give some characterizations of them.

1. Introduction
In differential geometry, special curves have an important role. One of these curves is a Smarandache curve. Smarandache curves are first defined by M. Turgut and S. Yılmaz in 2008 [6]. Special Smarandache curves also have been
studied by some authors [1,2]. Let α = α(s) be a regular unit speed curve in E 3 . The Frenet frame and alternative frame
of this curve are and {N, C, W}, respectively. Here, N is normal vector, W is unit Darboux vector and C = W ∧ N [4].
In this paper, we created the Smarandache curves according to the alternative frame of the unit speed curve. Then we
introduced alternative frame and its properties. Finally we calculated geodesic curvature of these curves according to
alternative frame.
2. Preliminaries
Let α = α(s) be a regular curve with unit speed. Then the Frenet apparatus of the curve (α) [3]
α00 (s)
, B(s) = T (s) ∧ N(s),
k α00 (s) k
hα0 (s) ∧ α00 (s), α000 (s)i
= k α00 (s) k,
τ(s) =

k α0 ∧ α00 k2

In Euclidean 3-space any regular curve α(s) depending on the Frenet vectors moves around the axis of Darboux vector
and the Darboux vector and defining a unit vector field are given as [4]

So build another orthonormal moving frame along the curve α(s). This frame defined as alternative frame and is
represented by {N, C, W}. The derivative formulae of the alternative frame is given by [4]

Principal normal vector N is common both frames. Let γ : I → S 2 be a unit speed spherical curve and s arc-length
0
parameter of γ.Let us denote t(s) = γ (s) and d(s) = γ(s) ∧ t(s). This frame is called the Sabban frame of γ on S 2 .
Then we have the following spherical Frenet formulae of γ
γ0 (s) = t(s),
t0 (s) = −γ(s) + κg (s)d(s),
d0 (s) = −κg (s)t(s),
κg (s) = ht0 (s), d(s)i
where κg (s) is the geodesic curvature of the curve of γ on S 2 [5].

3. Smarandache Curves of Alternative Frame
Theorem 3.1. Let α(s) be unit speed curve and alternative frame {N, C, W}. The alternative Darboux vector D̄ of the
curve α is given by
D̄ = γN + βW.
Proof. The alternative Darboux vector of the curve D̄ can be written as follow (Figure 1)
D̄ = aN + bC + cW.
Taking the cross product of (3.1) and N, we get
N 0 = D̄ ∧ N
⇒
βC = (aN + bC + cW) ∧ N
⇒
βC = −bW + cC
⇒
b = 0, c = β.
Taking the cross product of (3.1) and C, we get
C 0 = D̄ ∧ C
⇒
−βN + γW = (aN + bC + cW) ∧ C
⇒
−βN + γW = aW − cN
⇒
a = γ, c = β.
Taking the cross product of (3.1) and W, we get
W 0 = D̄ ∧ W
⇒
−γC = (aN + bC + cW) ∧ W
⇒
−γC = −aC − bN
⇒ a = γ, b = 0.
Thus, alternative Darboux vector D̄ is obtained as D̄ = γN + βW and the unit Darboux vector D is given by

(D ∧ T D )0 = −κgD T D .
