1. Introduction. Let J be a closed linear interval ao^tSfo. Let r(/) = (#(/), y(t) } z(t)), tSI, represent a vector function whose three components x(t), y(i) t z(t) are of bounded variation and continuous on I. This vector function determines in Euclidean 3-space a curve x~x{t), y~y(t), z=*z(t) whose length we denote by LQç). By convergence in length of a sequence of such vector functions $ n ...
