On the Motion of the Frenet Vectors and Spacelike Ruled Surfaces in the Minkowski 3-Space

Ankara University, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Mathematics, Ankara, Turkey

Abstract

In this paper, we obtained the distribution parameter of a spacelike ruled surface generated by a spacelike straight line in Frenet trihedron moving along a spacelike curve. We show that the spacelike ruled surface is developable if and only if the base curve is a helix (inclined curve). Furthermore, some theorems are given for the special cases which the line is being tangent, the principal normal and binormal of the base curve.
