Abstract

In this paper, we study the local properties of the intersection curve of a spacelike surface and a timelike surface. We derive the curvature vector, curvature and torsion for the transversal intersection for parametric-parametric intersection problem. Furthermore, we investigate some characteristic features of the intersection curve.
