Non-lightlike ruled surfaces with constant curvatures in Minkowski 3-space

Abstract

We study the non-lightlike ruled surfaces in Minkowski 3-space with non-lightlike base curve [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are the tangent, principal normal and binormal vectors of an arbitrary timelike curve [Formula: see text]. Some important results of flat, minimal, II-minimal and II-flat non-lightlike ruled surfaces are studied. Finally, the following interesting theorem is proved: the only non-zero constant mean curvature (CMC) non-lightlike ruled surface is developable timelike ruled surface generated by binormal vector.
