【 摘 要 】
We have already defined the evolutes and the involutes of fronts without inflection points. For regular curves or fronts, we can not define the evolutes at inflection points. On the other hand, the involutes can be defined at inflection points. In this case, the involute is not a front but a frontal at inflection points. We define evolutes of frontals under conditions. T he definition is a generalisation of both evolutes of regular curves and of fronts. By using relationship between evolutes and involutes of frontals, we give an existence condition of the evolute with inflection points. We also give properties of evolutes and involutes of frontals.
