Abstract

In this paper we analyzed the problem of investigating locally the scalar curvature of the two dimensional kinematic surfaces foliated by the homothetic motion of an eight curve in Lorentz-Minkowski 5-space L^s. We express the scalar curvature of the corresponding two dimensional kinematic surfaces as the quotient of hyperbolic functions {sinh mv, cosh mv }. From that point, we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions that the coefficients of hyperbolic functions vanished identically. Additionally, an example is given to show two dimensional kinematic surfaces with constant scalar curvature.
