The aim of the paper is to characterize some curves with the help of their harmonic curvature functions. First of all, we have defined harmonic curvature function of an arbitrary curve and have re-determined the position vectors of helices in terms of their harmonic curvature functions in Galilean 3-space. Then, we have investigated the relation between rectifying curves and Salkowski (or anti-Salkowski) curves in Galilean 3-space. Furthermore, the position vectors of them are obtained via the serial approach of the curves. Finally, we have given some illustrated examples of helices and rectifying curves with some assumptions.

In this study, we have investigated the possibility of whether any Frenet plane of a given space curve in a 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}_3$ also is any Frenet plane of another space curve in the same space. We have obtained some characterizations of a given space curve by considering nine possible case.

In this study, we have investigated the possibility of whether any spacelike Frenet plane of a given space curve in Minkowski 3-space $\mathbb{E}_1^3$ also is any spacelike Frenet plane of another space curve in the same space. We have obtained some characterizations of a given space curve by considering nine possible case.

In this paper, position vector of a spacelike slant helix with respect to standard frame are deduced in Minkowski space $E^3_1$. Some new characterizations of a spacelike slant helices are presented. Also, a vector differential equation of third order is constructed to determine position vector of an arbitrary spacelike curve. In terms of solution, we determine the parametric representation of the spacelike slant helices from the intrinsic equations. Thereafter, we apply this method to find the parametric representation of some special spacelike slant helices such as: Salkowski and anti-Salkowski curves.
