Abstract
Abstract Null cartan curves have been studied by some geometers in both Euclidean and Minkowski spaces, but some special characters of the curves are not considered. In this paper, we study weak AW ( k ) – type and AW ( k ) – type null cartan curve in Minkowski 3-space <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <m:mrow> <m:msubsup> <m:mi>E</m:mi> <m:mn>1</m:mn> <m:mn>3</m:mn> </m:msubsup> </m:mrow> </m:math> E_1^3 . We define helix according to Bishop frame in <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <m:mrow> <m:msubsup> <m:mi>E</m:mi> <m:mn>1</m:mn> <m:mn>3</m:mn> </m:msubsup> </m:mrow> </m:math> E_1^3 . Furthermore, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the helices in Minkowski 3-space are obtained.
