Application of Matrix Methods On W-Curves

Abstract

In the present study, we find the parametric equations of non-null W-curves through the semi skew-symmetric matrix in three dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space. Our technic provides more simple but efficient method for find the parametric equations of these curves in comparison to previous studies in mentioned space. Finally, we give some pictures of W-curves in polynomial form.
