self-rotation of a curve
The part of the variation of the rotation of a curve on an irregular surface not caused by the concentration of the integral curvature of the surface on the set of points of the curve. For a simple arc $ L $, the swerve is equal to $ ( \sigma _ {r} + \sigma _ {l} - \Omega )/2 $, where $ \sigma _ {r} , \sigma _ {l} $ are the variations under right and left traversal of $ L $, while $ \Omega $ is the variation of the curvature of $ L $ as a set. Curves with swerve zero are called quasi-geodesic curves (cf. Quasi-geodesic line).
