1. Introduction Galilean space is the space of the Galilean Relativity. For more about Galilean space and pseudo Galilean space may be found in [1–3] The geometry of the Galilean Relativity acts like a bridge from Euclidean geometry to special Relativity. The geometry of curves in Euclidean space have been developed a long time ago [4]. In recent years, mathematicians have begun to investigate curves and surfaces in Galilean space [5].

Galilean space is one of the Cayley-Klein spaces. Smarandache curves have been investigated by some differential geometers such as H.S. Abdelaziz, M. Khalifa and Ahmad T. Ali [6]. In this paper, we study Smarandache curve in 4-dimensional Galilean space G4 and characterize such curves in terms of their curvature functions.

2. Preliminaries The three-dimensional Galilean space G3 , is the Cayley-Klein space equipped with the projective metric of signature (0, 0, +, + ).

The absolute of the Galilean geometry is an ordered triple (ω, f, I) where ω is the ideal (absolute) plane, f is a line in ω ∗

(absolute line) and I is elliptic involution point (0, 0, x2 , x3 ) → (0, 0, x3 , −x2 ).

A plane is called Euclidean if it contains f , otherwise it is called isotropic or, i.e. planes x = const. are Euclidean, and so is the plane ω . A vector u = (u1 , u2 , u3 ) is said to be non-isotropic vector if u1 = 0. all unit non-isotropic vectors are of the form u = (1, u2 , u3 ). For isotropic vectors u1 = 0 holds.

In the Galilean space G3 there are four classes of lines [7]: 1. The (proper) isotropic lines that don’t belong to the plane ω but meet the absolute line f.

2. The (proper) non-isotropic lines they don’t meet the absolute line f.

3. a proper non-isotropic lines all lines of ω but f.

4. The absolute line f. − → − → Let x = (x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 ) and y = (y1 , y2 , y3 , y4 ) be two vectors in G4 . The Galilean scalar product in G4 can be written as

In addition, it stated this geometry can described more precisely as the study of those properties of 4D space with coordinate which are invariant under general Galilean transformation as follows [8].

x = (cos β cos α − cos γ sin β sin α )x

The derivatives of the Frenet-Serret equations are defined as in [9].

t ( s ) = k1 ( s )n ( s )

n ( s ) = k2 ( s )b1 ( s )

b 1 (s ) = −k2 (s )n(s ) + k3 (s )b1 (s ) b 2 (s ) = −k3 (s )b1 (s )

3. tb2 Smarandache curves in G4

+ (sin β cos α − cos γ cos β sin α )y + (sin γ sin α )z + (v cos δ1 )t + a

Definition 1. A curve in G4 , whose position vector is obtained

by Frenet frame vectors on another curve, is called Smarandache curve.

y = −(cos β sin α + cos γ sin β cos α )x + (− sin β sin α + cos γ cos β cos α )y

Let us define special forms of Smarandache curves.

+ (sin γ cos α )z + (v cos δ2 )t + b

Definition 2. Let α (s) be a unit speed curve in G4 with constant curvatures k1 , k2 and k3 and {t(s), n(s), b1 (s), b2 (s)} be Frenet frame on it. The tb2 Smarandache curves are defined by

z = (sin γ sin β )x − (sin γ cos β )y + (cos γ )z + (v cos δ3 )t + c

t = t + d

with cos2 δ1 + cos2 δ2 + cos2 δ3 = 1.

A curve α : I → G4 of C∞ , I ⊂ R in the Galilean G4 is defined by α (s ) = (s, y(s ), z(s ), w(s )) where the curve α is parameterized by the Galilean invariant arc-length. The first Frenet-Serret frame , that is, the tangent vector of α (s) in G4 , is defined by

t (s ) = α (s ) = (1, y (s ), z (s ), w (s ))

(2.1)

The second vector of the Frenet-Serret frame , that is called, the principle normal of α (s) is defined by n(s).

1 1 n (s ) = α (s ) = (0, y (s ), z (s ), w (s )) k1 ( s ) k1 ( s )

b1 ( s ) =

1 0, k2 ( s )

Theorem 1. Let α = α (s ) be a unit speed curve with constant curvatures k1 (s), k2 (s) and k3 (s) and β (sβ (s)) be tb2 Smarandache curve defined by frame vectors of α (s), then

tβ (sβ (s )) = nβ (sβ (s )) =

(2.4)

where k1 (s), k2 (s) and k3 (s) are the first, second and third curvature functions of the curve α (s) which are defined by

k1 (s ) = t (s ) = (y (s ))2 + (z (s ))2 + (w (s ))2 G4

k2 (s ) = n (s ) = n , n G4 G 4

k3 (s ) = b 1 (s ), b2 (s ) G4 If the curvature k1 (s), k2 (s) and k3 (s) are constants, then the curve α (s) is called W-curve. The set {t(s), n(s), b1 (s), b2 (s), k1 (s), k2 (s), k3 (s)} is called the Frenet-Serret pparatus of the curve α .

b2β (sβ (s )) =

(2.3)

Thus the vector b1 (s) is perpendicular to both t(s) and n(s).

The second binormal vector of α (s) which is the fourth vector of the Frenet-Serret frame is defined by b2 (s).

b2 ( s ) = t ( s ) × n ( s ) × b1 ( s )

Theorem 2. Let ι = ι (s ) be a unit speed curve in G4 with constant curvatures k1 (s), k2 (s) and k3 (s). Then the Smarandache nb1 curves of ι (s) has b2β (sβ ) = 0.

DeďŹ nition 4. Let Îą = Îą (s ) be a curve in Galilean space G4 and {t(s), n(s), b1 (s), b2 (s)} be its moving Frenet frame . The tnb1 b2 Smarandache curves are deďŹ ned as

Remark 1. The Frenet- Serret invariants of tnb1 b2 Smarandache curves can easily obtained by the apparatus of the curve Îą = Îą (s ).

Remark 2. There are another types of Smarandache curves in G4 such as tb1 , tn, nb2 , b1 b2 , tnb1 , tnb2 , tb1 b2 , nb1 b2 .

(4.8)

The Galilean inner product follows that Îą , Îą G4 = 1 . So the curve is parameterized by arc length and the tangent vector is (4.8). In order to calculate the ďŹ rst curvature let us express

√ t (s ) = (0, − sin s, − 2 cos s, − sin s )

Taking the norm of both sides, we have k1 (s ) =

√ 2.

The principal normal n(s) becomes

√ 1 n(s ) = √ (0, − sin s, − 2 cos s, − sin s ) 2

(4.9)

One more differentiating of (4.9), we have

√ 1 n (s ) = √ (0, − cos s, 2 sin s, − cos s ) 2 By using n (s) we have the second curvature k2 (s ) = 1 and the first binormal vector

√ 1 b1 (s ) = √ (0, − cos s, 2 sin s, − cos s ) 2

(4.10)

(4.11)

We can obtain easily the third curvature of the curve k3 (s ) = 0.

The tb2 Smarandache curve of the curve α (s) is the curve β (sβ (s))

(4.18)

In the same way we can obtain the nb1 Smarandache curve and its Frenet-Serret apparatus by using (4.1),(4.2).(4.3),(4.4),(4.5) of Theorem 2.
