ASSOCIATED CURVES OF THE SPACELIKE CURVE VIA THE BISHOP FRAME OF TYPE-2 IN E₁³

The objective of the study in this paper is to define M₁,M₂-direction curves and M₁,M₂-donor curves of the spacelike curve γ via the Bishop frame of type-2 in E₁³. We obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions when the associated curves to be slant helices and general helices via the Bishop frame of type-2 in E₁³. After defining the spherical indicatrices of the associated curves, we obtain some relations between associated curves and their spherical indicatrices in terms of the frames used in the present work.
