Abstract

 

In this paper, we study focal curves of spacelike biharmonic general helices in the Lorentzian group of rigid motions . We characterize the spacelike biharmonic general helices in terms of their curvature and torsion in the Lorentzian group of rigid motions . Moreover, we construct parametric equations of special type developable surfaces in terms of focal curves of spacelike biharmonic general helices in the Lorentzian .

 

Key words: Focal curve, developable surface, biharmonic curve, harmonic curve, rigid motions.
