On Rectifying Curves as Centrodes and Extremal Curves in the Minkowski 3-space

چکیده
In this paper, we characterize the spacelike, the timelike and the null rectifying curves in the Minkowski 3-space in terms of centrodes. In particular, we show that the spacelike and timelike rectifying curves are the extremal curves for which the corresponding function takes its extremal value. On the other hand, we also show that the null rectifying curves are not the extremal curves and give some interesting geometric properties of such curves.

A characterization of curves in Galilean 4-space $G_4$
In the present study, we consider a regular curve in Galilean $4$-space $mathbb{G}_{4}$ whose position vector is written as a linear combination of its Frenet vectors. We characterize such curves in terms of their curvature functions. Further, we obtain some results of rectifying, constant ratio, $T$-constant and $N$-constant curves in $mathbb{G}_{4}$.
متن کاملASSOCIATED CURVES OF THE SPACELIKE CURVE VIA THE BISHOP FRAME OF TYPE-2 IN E₁³
The objective of the study in this paper is to define M₁,M₂-direction curves and M₁,M₂-donor curves of the spacelike curve γ via the Bishop frame of type-2 in E₁³. We obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions when the associated curves to be slant helices and general helices via the Bishop frame of type-2 in E₁³. After defining the spherical indicatrices of the associated curves, we obta...
متن کاملParallel Transport Frame in 4 -dimensional Euclidean Space
In this work, we give parallel transport frame of a curve and we introduce the relations between the frame and Frenet frame of the curve in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. The relation which is well known in Euclidean 3-space is generalized for the rst time in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. Then we obtain the condition for spherical curves using the parallel transport frame of them. The conditi...
متن کاملSpacelike Salkowski and anti-Salkowski Curves With a Spacelike Principal Normal in Minkowski 3-Space
A century ago, Salkowski [9] introduced a family of curves with constant curvature but non-constant torsion (Salkowski curves) and a family of curves with constant torsion but nonconstant curvature (anti-Salkowski curves). In this paper, we adapt definition of such curves to spacelike curves in Minkowski 3-space. Thereafter, we introduce an explicit parametrization of a spacelike Salkowski curv...

Salkowski [11], one century ago, introduced a family of curves with constant curvature but non-constant torsion (Salkowski curves) and a family of curves with constant torsion but non-constant curvature (anti-Salkowski curves) in Euclidean 3-space E. In this paper, we adapt definition of such curves to time-like curves in Minkowski 3-space E31. Thereafter, we introduce an explicit parametrizati...
