Triharmonic Curves in f-Kenmotsu Manifolds

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study triharmonic curves in three dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifolds. We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions for Frenet curves, and specifically for slant and Legendre curves to be triharmonic. Then we prove that triharmonic Frenet curves with constant curvature are Frenet helices in three dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifolds. Next, we give a nonexistence theorem that there is no triharmonic Legendre curve in three dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifolds.
