Null Cartan Helices in Lorentzian 3-Space: An Approximation
Abstract
In this work, we investigate the null Cartan helices in Lorentzian 3-space. We derive the helices with the constant timelike, spacelike and lightlike Killing axis in Lorentzian 3-space. Then, we calculate the Bishop curvatures of the null Cartan helix and obtain the explicit parametric equations of these curves by using the Bishop curvatures. Finally, we present various related examples and draw their images using the Mathematica.
