On normal curves and their characterizations in Lorentzian n-space

This paper deals with the generalization of null and non-null normal curves in Lorentzian <em>n</em> -space <em>E</em><sub>1</sub><sup><em>n</em></sup>. We reveal necessary and sufficient condition for a curve to be a normal curve in Lorent...
