Generalized Helicoidal Surfaces in Minkowski 5-space

Abstract

In this paper, we study generalized helicoidal surfaces in Minkowski 5-space. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for generalized helicoidal surfaces in Minkowski 5-space to be minimal, flat or of zero normal curvature tensor, which are ordinary differential equations. We solve those equations and discuss the behavior of solutions.
