Abstract

A slant helix is a curve for which the principal normal vector field makes a constant angle

with a fixed direction. In this study, we solve a system of linear ordinary differential equations

involving an alternative moving frame, then determine the position vectors of slant helices through

integration in Minkowski 3-space.

Keywords

Slant helix, Alternative moving frame
