In this paper, we mainly discuss factorable surfaces in 3-dimensional Minkowski space and give classification of such surfaces whose mean curvature and Gauss curvature satisfy certain conditions.

In this paper, we study some properties of ruled surfaces in a three-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space related to their Gaussian curvature, the second Gaussian curvature and the mean curvature. Furthermore, we examine the ruled surfaces in a three-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space satisfying the Jacobi condition formed with those curvatures, which are called the II-W and the II-G ruled surfaces and give a classification of such ruled surfaces in a three-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space.

In this paper, we prove that a complex Finsler manifold is a complex locally Minkowski space if and only if it is a strictly K$\ddot{a}$hler-Berwald manifold with zero holomorphic sectional curvature.

In this paper we consider the existence of rotationally symmetric entire solutions for the prescribed higher mean curvature spacelike equations in Minkowski spacetime. As a first step, we study the associated 0-Dirichlet problems on a ball, and then we prove that all possible solutions can be extended to + ∞. The proof of our main results are based upon the topological degree methods and the standard prolongability theorem of ordinary differential equations.

Let K, H, K_II and H_II be the Gaussian curvature, the mean curvature, the second Gaussian curvature and the second mean curvature of a timelike tubular surface T_γ(α) with the radius γ along a timelike curve α(s) in Minkowski 3-space E³₁. We prove that T_γ(α) must be a (K, H)-Weingarten surface and a (K, H)-linear Weingarten surface. We also show that T_γ(α) is (X, Y)-Weingarten type if and only if its central curve is a circle or a helix, where (X, Y) ∈ {(K, K_II), (K, H_II), (H, K_II), (H, H_II), (K_II , H_II)}. Furthermore, we prove that there exist no timelike tubular surfaces of (X, Y)-linear Weingarten type, (X, Y, Z)-linear Weingarten type and (K, H, K_II, H_II)-linear Weingarten type along a timelike curve in E³₁, where (X, Y, Z) ∈ {(K, H, K_II), (K, H, H_II), (K, K_II, H_II), (H, K_II, H_II)}.

The helicoidal surface is a generalization of rotation surface in a Minkowski space. We study helicoidal surfaces in a Minkowski 3-space in terms of their Gauss map and provide some examples of new classes of helicoidal surfaces with constant mean curvature in a Minkowski 3-space.

In this paper, we investigate the existence of an S-shaped connected component in the set of positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem of the one-dimension Minkowski-curvature equation $$\{\(\frac{u^{\prime}}{\sqrt{1-u^{{\prime}2}}}\)^{\prime}+{\lambda}a(x)f(u)=0,\;x{\in}(0,1),\\u(0)=u(1)=0$$, where ${\lambda}$ is a positive parameter, $f{\in}C[0,{\infty})$, $a{\in}C[0,1]$. The proofs of main results are based upon the bifurcation techniques.

In the present paper, we study a non-degenrate ruled surface along a null curve in a 3-dimensional Minkowski space E31, which is called a null scroll, an investigate some characterizations of null scrolls satisfying the condition H=AH, A Mat(3, ), where denotes the Laplacian of the surface with respect to the induced metric, H the mean curvature vector and Mat(3, ) the set of 3$\times$3-real matrices.
