This paper provides a study of lightlike submanifolds of a generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) space-time. In particular, we investigate lightlike submanifolds with curvature invariance, parallel second fundamental forms, totally umbilical second fundamental forms, null sectional curvatures and null Ricci curvatures, respectively.

We denote by ${{\mathcal{Q}}(A)}$ the set of all matrices with the same sign pattern as A. A matrix A has signed null-space provided there exists a set ${\mathcal{S}}$ of sign patterns such that the set of sign patterns of vectors in the null-space of ${\tilde{A}}$ is ${\mathcal{S}}$, for each ${\tilde{A}}{\in}{{\mathcal{Q}}(A)}$. Some properties of matrices with signed null-spaces are investigated.

Let $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ denote the 3-dimensional space form of index $q=0,1$, and constant curvature $c{\neq}0$. A curve ${\alpha}$ immersed in $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ is said to be a Bertrand curve if there exists another curve ${\beta}$ and a one-to-one correspondence between ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ such that both curves have common principal normal geodesics at corresponding points. We obtain characterizations for both the cases of non-null curves and null curves. For non-null curves our theorem formally agrees with the classical one: non-null Bertrand curves in $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ correspond with curves for which there exist two constants ${\lambda}{\neq}0$ and ${\mu}$ such that ${\lambda}{\kappa}+{\mu}{\tau}=1$, where ${\kappa}$ and ${\tau}$ stand for the curvature and torsion of the curve. As a consequence, non-null helices in $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ are the only twisted curves in $\mathbb{M}^3_q(c)$ having infinite non-null Bertrand conjugate curves. In the case of null curves in the 3-dimensional Lorentzian space forms, we show that a null curve is a Bertrand curve if and only if it has non-zero constant second Frenet curvature. In the particular case where null curves are parametrized by the pseudo-arc length parameter, null helices are the only null Bertrand curves.

Null designs form a vector space and there are only finite number of minimal null designs(up to scalar multiple), hence it is natural to look at the convex polytopes of minimal null designs. For example, when t = 0, k = 1, the convex polytope of minimal null designs is the polytope of roofs of type An. In this article, we look at the convex polytopes of minimal null designs and find many general properties on the vertices, edges, dimension, and some structural properties that might help to understand the structure of polytopes for big n, t through the structure of smaller n, t.

In this paper, we study the timelike Bertrand curves in Minkowski 3-space. Since the principal normal vector of a timelike curve is spacelike, the Bertrand mate curve of this curve can be a timelike curve, a spacelike curve with spacelike principal normal or a Cartan null curve, respectively. Thus, by considering these three cases, we get the necessary and sufficient conditions for a timelike curve to be a Bertrand curve. Also we give the related examples.

This paper presents a new technique that derives the dynamic acceleration bounds of multiple cooperating robot systems from given individual torque limits of robots. A set of linear algebraic homogeneous equation is derived from the dynamic equations of multiple robots with friction contacts. The mobility of the robot system is analyzed by the decomposition of the null space of the linear algebraic equation. The acceleration bounds of multiple robot systems are obtained from the joint torque constraints of robots by the medium of the decomposed null space. As the joint constraints of the robots are given in the infinite norm sense, the resultant acceleration bounds of the systems are described as polytopes. Several case studies are presented to validate the proposed method in this paper.

In this paper, we introduce a new kind of slant helix for null curves called null $W_n$-slant helix and we give a definition of new harmonic curvature functions of a null curve in terms of $W_n$ in (n + 2)-dimensional Lorentzian space $M^{n+2}_1$ (for n > 3). Also, we obtain a characterization such as: "The curve ${\alpha}$ s a null $W_n$-slant helix ${\Leftrightarrow}H^{\prime}_n-k_1H_{n-1}-k_2H_{n-3}=0$" where $H_n,H_{n-1}$ and $H_{n-3}$ are harmonic curvature functions and $k_1,k_2$ are the Cartan curvature functions of the null curve ${\alpha}$.

Using the complex parabolic rotations of holomorphic null curves in ℂ⁴ we transform minimal surfaces in Euclidean space ℝ³ to a family of degenerate minimal surfaces in Euclidean space ℝ⁴. Applying our deformation to holomorphic null curves in ℂ³ induced by helicoids in ℝ³, we discover new minimal surfaces in ℝ⁴ foliated by hyperbolas or straight lines. Applying our deformation to holomorphic null curves in ℂ³ induced by catenoids in ℝ³, we rediscover the Hoffman-Osserman catenoids in ℝ⁴ foliated by ellipses or circles.
