Abstract

Here we apply our original scheme for the reconstruction of plane curves whose curvatures are specified by functions of the radial coordinate to the curves introduced by J.-A. Serret. These curves are associated with the natural numbers and we extend their definition in order to include them into a family of curves dependingon two continuous real parameters. The explicit parametrization of this new class of curves is presented as well.
