Geometric invariants of non-smooth framed curves
Abstract: We compare the Serret-Frenet frame with a {\em relatively parallel adapted frame} (RPAF) introduced by Bishop to parametrize $W{2,2}$-curves. Next, we derive the geometric invariants, curvature and torsion, with the RPAF associated to the curve. Finally, we discuss applications of the two approaches in variational problems.
