The recurrence theorem of the Frenet formulas
Uploading ....
Studying the Frenet formulas I have concluded that they are recursive. More specifically, using the trigonometric form of the Frenet formulas, we proved the following
Theorem: If there is a right trihedron of the n order  that satisfies the Frenet formulas of the n order, written in the trigonometric form

then there is still a right trihedron of the n order

that satisfying, in turn, the Frenet formulas of the n+1 order written also in the trigonometric form

where
and  .
Demonstration: Through relations and 
we have that
 so
 .
We also have
 whence
 .
Now, we derive the unit vectors of the trihedron of the n+1 order

and we obtain
 .
Replacing
 and
 , we obtain
 .
But, from the definition of the unit vectors of the high order, we know that
 ,
so
 .
Because and ,
finally result that
