Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine criteria of being integral curve for the geodesic spray of the natural lift curves of the spherical indicatrices of the involutes of a given timelike curve in Minkowski 3-space.


Key words: Minkowski space, involute-evolute curve couple, geodesic spray, natural lift curve
