Abstract

We introduce four ordinary differential equations for a fixed natural parametrization of a spacelike curve $C$ in the Lorentz plane. The relationships between these differential equations is studied through the curvature of $C$.

Keywords

Lorentz plane, spacelike curve, curvature, differential equations.
