Abstract

In this paper, we examine timelike loxodromes on three kinds of Lorentzian helicoidal surfaces in Minkowski nn--space. First, we obtain the first order ordinary differential equations which determine timelike loxodromes on the Lorentzian helicoidal surfaces in E1n\mathbb{E}^n_1 according to the causal characters of their meridian curves. Then, by finding general solutions, we get the explicit parametrizations of such timelike loxodromes. In particular, we investigate the timelike loxodromes on the three kinds of Lorentzian right helicoidal surfaces in E1n\mathbb{E}^n_1. Finally, we give an example to visualize the results.
