On The Geometry Of Null Curves In The Minkowski 4-Space, Recep Aslaner, A. İhsan Boran

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study the basic results on the general study of null curves in the Minkowski 4-space R_1^4. A transversal vector bundle of a null curve in R_1^4 is constructed using a frenet Frame consisting of two real null and two space-like vectors. The null curves are characterized by using the Frenet frame.


Intrinsic Equations For A Generalized Relaxed Elastic Line On An Oriented Surface In The Minkowski 3-Space E_1^3, Cumali̇ Eki̇ci̇, Ali̇ Görgülü Jan 2009

Intrinsic Equations For A Generalized Relaxed Elastic Line On An Oriented Surface In The Minkowski 3-Space E_1^3, Cumali̇ Eki̇ci̇, Ali̇ Görgülü

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

H. K. Nickerson and Gerald S. Manning [8] derived the intrinsic equations for a relaxed elastic line on an oriented surface in the Euclidean 3-dimensional space E^3. In this paper, we define a generalized relaxed elastic line and derive the intrinsic equations for a generalized of relaxed elastic line on an oriented surface in the Minkowski 3-dimensional space E_1^3 and give some applications of the result.
