We study the notions of pedal curves, contrapedal curves and -Gauss maps of non-lightlike regular curves in Minkowski 3-space. Then we establish the relationships among the evolutes, the pedal and contrapedal curves. Moreover, we also investigate the singularities of these objects. Finally, we show some examples to comprehend the characteristics of the pedal and contrapedal curves in Minkowski 3-space.
In this paper, we give the existence and uniqueness theorems for hyperbolic framed curves and define the k-type hyperbolic framed slant helices in three-dimensional hyperbolic space. Using the hyperbolic curvature, we investigate the k-type hyperbolic framed slant helices and the connection between them. Hyperbolic framed slant helices might have singular points, they are a generalization of hyperbolic slant helices. Moreover, as their applications, we give some examples of k-type hyperbolic framed slant helices.
In this paper, we define the generalized Bertrand curves of non-light-like framed curves in Lorentz–Minkowski 3-space; their study is essential for understanding many classical and modern physics problems. Here, we consider two non-light-like framed curves as generalized Bertrand pairs. Our generalized Bertrand pairs can include Bertrand pairs with either singularities or not, and also include Mannheim pairs with singularities. In addition, we discuss their properties and prove the necessary and sufficient conditions for two non-light-like framed curves to be generalized Bertrand pairs.
We define pedal and negative pedal surfaces of framed curves in the Euclidean 3-space and find that the loci of singularities of them are pedal and negative pedal curves, respectively. Moreover, we give sufficient conditions that pedal and negative pedal surfaces to be framed base surfaces. We also give a sufficient condition that negative pedal curves to be framed base curves.
