Abstract
In this article, we define evolutoids and pedaloids of frontals on timelike surfaces in Minkowski 3-space. The evolutoids of frontals on timelike surfaces are not only the generalization of evolutoids of curves in the Minkowski plane but also the generalization of caustics in Minkowski 3-space. As an application of the singularity theory, we classify the singularities of evolutoids and reveal the relationships between the singularities and geometric invariants of frontals. Furthermore, we find that there exists a close connection between the pedaloids of frontals and the pedal surfaces of evolutoids. Finally, we give some examples to demonstrate the results.
期刊介绍:
Open Mathematics - formerly Central European Journal of Mathematics
Open Mathematics is a fully peer-reviewed, open access, electronic journal that publishes significant, original and relevant works in all areas of mathematics. The journal provides the readers with free, instant, and permanent access to all content worldwide; and the authors with extensive promotion of published articles, long-time preservation, language-correction services, no space constraints and immediate publication.
Open Mathematics is listed in Thomson Reuters - Current Contents/Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences. Our standard policy requires each paper to be reviewed by at least two Referees and the peer-review process is single-blind.
Aims and Scope
The journal aims at presenting high-impact and relevant research on topics across the full span of mathematics. Coverage includes:
