On the Timelike Circular Surface and Singularities in Minkowski 3-Space

Abstract

In this paper, we have parameterized a timelike (Tlike) circular surface (CIsurface) and have obtained its geometric properties, including striction curves, singularities, Gaussian and mean curvatures. Afterward, the situation for a Tlike roller coaster surface (RCOsurface) to be a flat or minimal surface is examined in detail. Further, we illustrate the approach’s outcomes with a number of pertinent examples.
