Begleitfiguren und Invariantensystem minimaler Differentiationsordnung von Kurven im reellenn-dimensionalen affinen Raum

For such curves we know a moving frame and a complete system of invariants (affine curvatures) with respect to the group of volume-conserving transformations (unimodular group) of the order 2n?1 respectively 2n (see [1], p. 171). In this paper we study for a curvec a moving frame and a system of invariants of the minimal ordern+1, respectivelyn+2, by means of a curve with vanishing affine curvatures that has contact of maximal order withc. Forn=3 this is a result ofA. Winternitz ([1], p. 171 or [3], p. 86).
