Chebyshev net
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
A net in which the tangent vectors to each family of lines can be parallel displaced along the lines of the other family. A Chebyshev net of the first kind is a net such that, for each
, the directions of the distribution
are parallel in the connection
along any integral curve of any of the other distributions
defined by this net. A Chebyshev net of the second kind is a net
(
) such that for each
, the subspaces
are parallel in the connection
along the integral curves of the distribution
.
Introduced by P.L. Chebyshev (1878).
