Estimates of the curvature of a three-dimensional evolute
Yu. A. Volkov, B. V. Dekster
Abstract:
The article discusses compact three-dimensional evolutes of positive curvature and convex boundary and establishes inequalities that connect their integral characteristics: volume $V$, boundary area $S$, mean integral curvature of the boundary $H$, radius of the inscribed sphere $r$, and inner integral curvature $\Omega$. The last characteristic is a measure of non-Euclidicity of an evolute involved: $\Omega=0$ if and only if the evolute is locally Euclidean. The inequalities obtained in particular imply that $2\pi\chi r\leqslant H+\Omega$, where $\chi$ is the Euler characteristic of the evolute boundary.
For an evolute homeomorphic to a sphere we have $\chi=2$, so that $r\leqslant\frac{H+\Omega}{4\pi}$, $V\leqslant Sr\leqslant\frac{H+\Omega}{4\pi}$. Equality in the estimate $r\leqslant\frac{H+\Omega}{4\pi}$ is achieved for a Euclidean sphere: for it $\Omega=0$ and $r=\frac H{4\pi}$.
