On the focal curvatures of non-lightlike curves in Minkowski (m+1)-space

Bu makalede, Minkowski (m+1) uzayında bir non-lightlike eğrinin fokal eğriliklerinin skalar Frenet denklemlerini sağladığını gösterdik ve fokal eğrilikleri kullanarak non-lightlike bir eğrinin bir noktasının köşe noktası olabilmesi için gerekli ve yeterli şartları verdik.

Minkowski (m+1)-uzayında non-lightlike eğrilerin fokal eğrilikleri üzerine

In this paper, we show that the focal curvatures of a non-lightlike curve in Minkowski (m+1)-space satisfy "scalar Frenet equations". And using the focal curvatures we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a point of a non-lightlike curve to be a vertex.
