Abstract In this paper, we give Darboux approximation for dual Smarandache curves of timelike curve on unit dual Lorentzian sphere S˜12 . Firstly, we define the four types of dual Smarandache curves of a timelike curve α ˜ (s) lying on dual Lorentzian sphere S˜12 . Then, we obtain the relationships between the dual curvatures of timelike curve α ˜ (s) and its dual Smarandache curves. Finally, we give an example for Smarandache curves of a timelike curve on unit dual Lorentzian sphere S˜12 . Keywords: E.

1. Introduction In the dual Lorentzian space D13 , a differentiable timelike curve lying fully on unit dual Lorentzian sphere S˜12 represents a spacelike ruled surface which is a surface generated by moving of a spacelike line L along a curve α(s) in E13 and has the parametrization ϕ ~ (s, u) = α ~ (s) + u ~l(s), where α ~ (s) is called generating curve and ~l(s), the direction of the spacelike line L, is called ruling. In the study of the fundamental theory and the characterizations of space curves, the special curves are an important problem. The most mathematicians studied the special curves such as Mannheim curves and Bertrand curves. Recently, a new special curve which is called Smarandache curve is defined by Turgut and Yılmaz in Minkowski space-time [9]. Ali have studied Smarandache curves in the Euclidean 3-space E 3 [1]. Then, Kahraman and Ugurlu ˘ have studied dual Smarandache curves of lying curves on unit dual sphere S˜2 in dual space D3 [5]. In this paper, we give Darboux approximation for dual Smarandache curves of timelike curve on unit dual Lorentzian sphere S˜12 . Firstly, we define the four types of dual Smarandache curves of a dual timelike curve α ˜ (s) on S˜12 . Then, we obtain the relationships between the dual curvatures of dual timelike curve α ˜ (s) and its dual Smarandache curves. Finally, we give an example for Smarandache curves of a timelike curve on unit dual Lorentzian sphere S˜12 .
2. Preliminaries Let R31 be a 3-dimensional Minkowski space over the field of real numbers R with the Lorentzian inner product h , i given by h~a, ~ai = −a1 b 1 + a2 b 2 + a3 b3 , where ~a = ( a 1 , a 2 , a 3 ) and ~b = ( b 1 , b2 , b3 ) ∈ R3 . A vector ~a = ( a 1 , a 2 , a 3 ) of R31 is said to be timelike if h~a, ~ai < 0, spacelike if h~a, ~ai > 0 or ~a = 0, and lightlike (null) if h~a, ~ai = 0 and ~a 6= 0. Similarly, an arbitrary curve α ~ (s) in R31 is spacelike, timelike or lightlike (null), if all of its 0 ~ (s) are spacelike, timelike or lightlike (null), respectively [7]. The norm of a vector ~a is defined by velocity vectors α Received : 26–August–2015, Accepted : 04–December–2015
