Shape correspondence between a spatial curve and a manipulator with hyper degrees of freedom

In this paper, we give a definition of a shape correspondence between a manipulator with hyper degrees of freedom and a spatial curve. The shape correspondence is defined by using the solution of a nonlinear optimization problem, termed the shape inverse problem. We also provide results on the existence and a well-posed region of the solution.
