Abstract
The induced metrics of Dupin cyclidic systems, that is, orthogonal coordinate systems with Dupin cyclides and spheres as coordinate surfaces, were provided by Darboux. Here we take a more geometric point of view and discuss how Dupin cyclides and Lamé families of Dupin cyclidic systems can be obtained by suitably evolving an initial circle or a Dupin cyclide, respectively. This approach reveals that those Lamé families are given by parallel surfaces in various space forms.
