On Biharmonic and Biminimal Curves in 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu Manifolds

On Biharmonic and Biminimal Curves in 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu Manifolds

In the present paper, we study biharmonicity and biminimality of the curves in 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifolds. We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions for a slant curve in a 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifold to be biharmonic and biminimal, respectively. We give some related characterizations in case such curves are Legendre curves.
