We follow the notations and basic equations of Chen (2). Let M be a surface immersed in an m-dimensional space form Rm(c) of curvature c = 1, 0 or −1. We choose a local field of orthonormal frames e1, …, em in Rm(c) such that, restricted to M, the vectors e1, e2 are tangent to M. Let ω1, …, ωm be the field of dual frames. Then the structure equations of Rm(c) are given by
