Abstract

In this study, we investigate the existence
theorems for timelike ruled surfaces in Minkowski 3-space . We obtain a general system and give the existence theorems
for a timelike ruled surface according to Gaussian curvature, distribution
parameter and strictional distance. Moreover, we give some special cases such
as the directirx of the surface is a geodesic, an asymptotic line, a line of
curvature or a general helix.

Keywords

Frenet frame , Minkowski 3-space , Striction curve , timelike ruled surface
