Abstract

In this paper, we study spacelike Bertrand curves in Minkowski 3-space. According to the casual character of the principal normal vector, we show that the Bertrand mate curve can be spacelike, timelike or null curve. Thus, we give the necessary and sucient conditions for spacelike curves to be Bertrand curves and we also give the related examples.

Keywords
