This problem was solved for the hypersphere in 9în by Karel Havlicek in his paper Contact des courbes et des hypersphères dans un espace euclidean à n dimensions.-Courbes sphériques, which appears in Casopis pro Pestování Matematiky a Fysiky vol. 72 (1947). First we find a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of … Show more
