Abstract

‎In the present study‎, ‎we consider a regular curve in Galilean‎ ‎$4$-space $\mathbb{G}_{4}$ whose position vector is written as a‎ ‎linear combination of its Frenet vectors‎. ‎We characterize such‎ ‎curves in terms of their curvature functions‎. ‎Further‎, ‎we obtain‎ ‎some results of rectifying‎, ‎constant ratio‎, ‎$T$-constant and‎ ‎$N$-constant curves in $\mathbb{G}_{4}$‎.
