Abstract

We introduce the notion of a k-type slant helix in Minkowski space $\e_1^4$. For partially null and pseudo null curves in $\e_1^4$, we express some characterizations in terms of their curvature and torsion functions.

Keywords

Minkowski space; k-type slant helix; partially null curve; pseudo null curve
