New Explicit Examples of Mannheim Pairs in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$

Abstract

In this paper, we construct new explicit parametrizations of Mannheim pairs in Euclidean 3-space. Unlike the known examples in the literature, which are essentially slant helices or general helices, the curve presented here is neither a helix nor a slant helix. We provide the full Frenet apparatus, the explicit Cartesian coordinates expressed in terms of elementary functions, and the corresponding Mannheim partner curve. The construction is based on a specific choice of the angular function that governs the curve's tangent indicatrix, leading to integrable expressions.
