Özet

We obtain a differential equation with 2 boundary conditions for a relaxed elastic line in a Riemannian manifold. This differential equation, which is found with respect to constant sectional curvature G, geodesic curvature kappa, and 2 boundary conditions, gives a more direct and more geometric approach to questions concerning a relaxed elastic line in a Riemannian manifold. We give various theorems and results in terms of a relaxed elastic line. Consequently, we examine the concept of a relaxed elastic line in 2- and 3-dimensional space forms.
