In this paper, the relation between a general helix and a slant helix was investigated and some differential equations were obtained for a space curve to be a SLL and its Frenet aparatus.
Abstract
In this paper we investigate the relations between a general helix and a slant helix. Moreover, we obtain some differential equations which they are characterizations for a space curve to be a slant helix. Also, we obtain the slant helix equations and its Frenet aparatus.

A new approach on curves of constant precession

TL;DR: This paper investigates a curve whose spherical images are spherical slant helices and called it as a C - slant helix, obtaining the axis of the curve and Theorem 3.5 via the alternative moving frame and the Sabban frame, respectively.

Null Helices in Lorentzian Space Forms

TL;DR: In this article, the Cartan frame of a null curve is introduced and the associated curvature functions are called Cartan curvatures of the curve, which generalize the reference of Bonnor for null curves in Minkowski space-time.
