Abstract
The motivation of this paper is to find formulation of the SL(n,R)-equivalence of curves. The types for centro-equiaffine curves and for every type all invariant parametrizations for such curves are introduced. The problem of SL(n,R)-equivalence of centro-equiaffine curves is reduced to that of paths. The centro-equiaffine curvatures of path as a generating system of the differential ring of SL(n,R)-invariant differential polinomial functions of path are found. Global conditions of SL(n,R)-equivalence of curves are given in terms of the types and invariants. It is proved that the invariants are independent.
