Abnormal Curves on the Goursat Systems of R𝑛

We study the abnormal and the rigid curves of the 2-distributions of 𝐑𝑛 satisfying everywhere the Goursat condition. We give the directions for the rigid and the abnormal curves when the systems satisfy the strong Goursat condition or when they have a singularity of order 2 in each dimension.
