W-Curves in Lorentz-Minkowski Space
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the chord properties of the non-null W-curves in Lorentz-Minkowski space.
We give the general equation form for W-curves in (2n+1)-dimension. We define some special curves and
give the relations between these curves and isoparametric surfaces. Finally we obtain the geodesics of the
pseudospherical cylinder and pseudohyperbolic cylinder in 4-dimensional space.
