Abstract

This paper deals with the equiform rectifying, normal and second kind osculating curves in Minkowski space-time . We reveal necessary and sufficient conditions for a curve to be a rectifying, normal and second kind osculating curve according to equiform geometry in Minkowski space-time . We obtain the relationship between the curvatures for these curves to be congruent to a rectifying, normal and second kind osculating curve according to equiform geometry in Minkowski space-time.

Keywords
