    Abstract: In this study, we analyze the correspondence between the Bishop frame, which is an alternative way of defining a moving frame in Euclidean 3-space, of a curve in E3 and its natural mate, conjugate (or adjoint) mate and Mannheim partner curves. We also obtain a relation between the respective Bishop curvatures for these curves.

    Keywords: Bishop frame, Bishop curvatures, Natural mate curves, Conjugate mate curves, Mannheim partner curves.

    Abstract: A sufficient condition for the global stability of positive equilibrium points of the difference equation, which appears as a model for basic virus dynamics, is obtained by applying the technique of Liapunov functions.
