Abstract
Explicit formulas for the generating differential invariants and invariant differential operators for curves in two- and three-dimensional centro-equi-affine and centro-affine geometry and surfaces in three-dimensional centro-equi-affine geometry are constructed using the equivariant method of moving frames. In particular, the algebra of centro-equi-affine surface differential invariants is shown to be generated by a single second order invariant.
