In this work, we firstly introduce notions of principal directed curves and principal donor curves which are associated curves of a Frenet curve in the dual Lorentzian space D 3 1 . We give some relations between the curvature and the torsion of a dual principal directed curve and the curvature and the torsion of a dual principal donor curve. We show that the dual principal directed curve of a dual general helix is a plane curve and obtain the equation of dual general helix by using position vector of plane curve. Then we show that the principal donor curve of a circle in D 2 or a hyperbola in D 2 1 and the principal directed curve of a slant helix in D 3 1 are a helix and general helix, respectively. We explain with an example for the second case. Finally, according to causal character of the principal donor curve of principal directed rectifying curve in D 3 1 , we show this curve to correspond to any timelike or spacelike ruled surface in Minkowski 3−space R 3 1 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
