We introduce the notion of $k$-type slant helix in Minkowski space $\e_1^4$. For partially null and pseudo null curves in $\e_1^4$, we express some characterizations in terms of their curvature and torsion functions.
In this work, first, we express some characterizations of helices and ccr curves in the Euclidean 4-space. Thereafter, relations among Frenet-Serret invariants of Bertrand curve of a helix are presented. Moreover, in the same space, some new characterizations of involute of a helix are presented.
In this paper, position vectors of a time-like curve with respect to standard frame of Minkowski space E$^3_1$ are studied in terms of Frenet equations. First, we prove that position vector of every time-like space curve in Minkowski space E$^3_1$ satisfies a vector differential equation of fourth order. The general solution of mentioned vector differential equation has not yet been found. By special cases, we determine the parametric representation of the general helices from the intrinsic equations (i.e. curvature and torsion are functions of arc-length) of the time-like curve. Moreover, we give some examples to illustrate how to find the position vector from the intrinsic equations of general helices.
In this work, notion of a slant helix is extended to space E$^n$. Necessary and sufficient conditions to be a slant helix in the Euclidean $n-$space are presented. Moreover, we express some integral characterizations of such curves in terms of curvature functions.
