Abstract

We consider a skew ruled surface Φ\Phi in the Euclidean space E3E^{3} and relative normalizations of it, so that the relative normals at each point lie in the corresponding asymptotic plane of Φ\Phi. We call such relative normalizations and the resulting relative images of Φ\Phi \emph{asymptotic}. We determine all ruled surfaces and the asymptotic normalizations of them, for which Φ\Phi is a relative sphere (proper or inproper) or the asymptotic image degenerates into a curve. Moreover we study the sequence of the ruled surfaces ΨiiN{\Psi_{i}}_{i\in \mathbb{N}}, where Ψ1\Psi_{1} is an asymptotic image of Φ\Phi and Ψi\Psi_{i}, for i2i\geq2, is an asymptotic image of Ψi1\Psi_{i-1}. We conclude the paper by the study of various properties concerning some vector fields, which are related with Φ\Phi.
