TLDR
In this article, the authors defined the evolutes and the involutes of frontals under conditions and gave an existence condition of the evolute with inflection points, which is a generalisation of both evo-forms of regular curves and of fronts.
Abstract
We have already defined the evolutes and the involutes of fronts without inflection points. For regular curves or fronts, we can not define the evolutes at inflection points. On the other hand, the involutes can be defined at inflection points. In this case, the involute is not a front but a frontal at inflection points. We define evolutes of frontals under conditions. The definition is a generalisation of both evolutes of regular curves and of fronts. By using relationship between evolutes and involutes of frontals, we give an existence condition of the evolute with inflection points. We also give properties of evolutes and involutes of frontals.

Dualities and evolutes of fronts in hyperbolic and de Sitter space

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the differential geometry of evolutes of singular curves in hyperbolic 2-space and de Sitter 2-spaces, respectively, and studied the geometric properties of these evolutions.

Primitivoids of curves in Minkowski plane

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the differential geometric characteristics of pedal and primitive curves in a Minkowski plane, where a primitive is specified by the opposite structure for creating the pedal, and primitivoids are known as comparatives of the primitive of a plane curve.

Involutes of fronts in the Euclidean plane

TL;DR: For a regular plane curve, an involute of it is the trajectory described by the end of a stretched string unwinding from a point of the curve as discussed by the authors, and the involute always has a singularity.

On (contra)pedals and (anti)orthotomics of frontals in de Sitter 2‐space

TL;DR: In this article , the de Sitter Legendrian Frenet frames were used to provide parametric representations of (contra)pedal curves of spacelike and timelike frontals in the deSitter 2-space and to investigate the geometric and singularity properties of these (contraspedal) curves.
