In this paper, spherical curves are studied by using Bishop frame. First, the dif- ferential equation characterizing the spherical curves is given. Then, we exhibit that the position vector of a which is lying on a satisfies a third-order linear differential equation. Then we solve this linear differential equation by using Bernstein series solution method. Key words: spherical curve, Bishop frame, Bernstein series solution method

Introduction As is well known fundamental structure of is the curves. With in the process, the best part of classical differential geometry topics have been expanded to space curves. There are many studies which implies different characterizations of these curves. Also spherical curves are the special space curves which lies on the sphere. There are also many studies on spherical curves. Firstly, Wong [1] give a universal formulation of the condition for a curve to be on sphere in 1963. Then, Breuer and Gottlieb [2] shown that the differential equa- tion characterizing a spherical curve can be solved explicitly to express the radius of of the curve in terms of its torsion in 1971. Wong [3] proved that the explicit characterization of spherical curves recently obtained by Breuer and Gottlieb without any precondition on the curvature and torsion, a necessary and sufficient condition for a curve to be a spherical curve. The proof is based on an earlier result of the present author on spherical curves. Mehlum and Wimp [4] proof that the position vector of any 3-space curve lying on a sphere provides a third order linear differential equation in 1985. In 1988, Kose [5] give an explicit characterization of the dual spherical curve. Abdel Bakey [6] studied with dual spherical curves and obtained a differential equation which is characterizing the dual spherical curves. Then he give the explicit solution of this differential equation without the precondition on the dual torsion. A necessary and sufficient condition for a dual curve to be spherical curve is given in 2002. Ilarslan [7] present the spherical characterization of non-null regular curves in 3-D Lorentzian space is given. Furthermore, the differential equation which expresses the mentioned characterization is solved in 2003. Kocayigit [8] shown that the differential equation characterizing a spherical curve in n-dimensional Euclidean space n ≥ 3 can be solved explicitly to express nth curva- ture function of the curve in terms of its and its other curvature functions in 2003.

Ayyildiz et al. [9] present the differential equation that is characterizing the dual Lorentzian spherical curves and then give an explicit solution of this differential equation are given in 2007. Camci et al. [10] studied with regular curves in 3-D Sasakian space and give the spherical characterizations of them. Furthermore, the differential equation which expresses the aforesaid characterization is solved in 2007. In this paper, we give the differential equation characterizing the spherical curves by using Bishop frame. Then, we present that the position vector of a curve lying on a sphere satisfies a third-order linear differential equation and the solution is given with Bernstein series method. Preliminaries In Euclidean 3-space scalar product is given:

vvv123 The Bishop frame in other words parallel transport frame is a different point of view for describing a moving frame which is well-define even when the curve has vanishing second . The parallel transport of an orthonormal frame along a curve can be expressed sim- ply by parallel transporting each component of the frame. The tangent vector and any conve- nient arbitrary for the remainder of the frame are used.
