Abstract

In this paper, we study dual curves of constant breadth in dual Lorentzian Space D₁³. We obtain the differential equations
characterizing dual curves of constant breadth in  D₁³ and we introduce some special cases for these dual curves. Furthermore, we obtain
that the total torsion of a closed dual spacelike curve of constant breadth is zero while the total torsion of a simple closed dual timelike
curve is equal to 2nπ, (n ∈ Z). 

Keywords
