The Fermi-Walker Derivative on the Spherical Indicatrix of Spacelike Curve in Minkowski 3-Space

Abstract

In this paper Fermi-Walker derivative, Fermi-Walker parallelism, non-rotating frame and Fermi-Walker terms Darboux vector concepts are given along the spherical indicatrix of a spacelike curve with a spacelike or timelike principal normal in \({E_{1}^{3}}\). First, we consider a spacelike curve in the Minkowski space and investigate the Fermi-Walker derivative along the tangent. The concepts with the Fermi-Walker derivative are analyzed along its tangent. Then, the Fermi-Walker derivative and its theorems are analyzed along the principal normal indicatrix and the binormal indicatrix of spacelike curve in \({E_{1}^{3}}\).
