Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new kind of slant helix for null curves called null Wn−slant helix and we give a definition of new harmonic curvature functions of a null curve in terms of Wn in (n + 2)−dimensional Lorentzian space M 1 (for n > 3). Also, we obtain a characterization such as: “The curve α is a null Wn − slant helix ⇔ H ′ n − k1Hn−1 − k2Hn−3 = 0” where Hn, Hn−1 and Hn−3 are harmonic curvature functions and k1, k2 are the Cartan curvature functions of the null curve α.
期刊介绍:
Kyungpook Mathematical Journal is an international journal devoted to significant research concerning all aspects of mathematics. The journal has a preference for papers having a broad interest. One volume of the journal is published every year. Each volume until volume 42 consisted of two issues; however, starting from volume 43(2003), each volume consists of four issues. Authors should strive for expository clarity and good literary style. Manuscripts should be prepared as follows. The first page must consist of a short descriptive title, followed by the name(s) and address(es) of the author(s) along with an electronic address if available.
