We also construct a cylindrical coordinate system using these Killing fields and express the generalized elastic curves by means of quadratures.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we study the extremals of the curvature energy actions on non-null curves in the four-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space. We derive the motion equations and find three Killing fields along the generalized elastic curves. We also construct a cylindrical coordinate system using these Killing fields and express the generalized elastic curves by means of quadratures.
