Geometric interpretation of Curvature Circles in Minkowski Plane

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the geometric interpretation of the curvature circles of motion at the initial position in Minkowski plane. We consider the equations of the circling-point and centering-point curves of one-parameter motion in Minkowski plane and then determine the positions of these curves relative to each other.
