Introduction In the study of the fundamental theory and the characterizations of space curves, the related curvesforwhichthereexistcorrespondingrelationsbetweenthecurvesareveryinterestingand an important problem. The most fascinating examples of such curves are associated curves and special curves. Recently, a new special curve is called Smarandache curve is defined by Turgut and Yılmaz in Minkowski space-time [9]. These curves are called Smarandache curves: IfaregularcurveinEuclidean3-space,whosepositionvectoris composedbyFrenetvectorson another regular curve, then the curve is called a Smarandache Curve. Then, Ali have studied Smarandache curves in the Euclidean 3-space E3[1]. Kahraman and U˘gurlu have studied dual 2 Smarandachecurves of curves lying on unit dual sphereS˜ in dual space D3 [3] and they have studied dual Smarandache curves of curves lying on unit dual hyperbolic sphere H˜2 in D3 0 1 [4]. Also, Kahraman,O¨nder and U˘gurlu have studied Blaschke approachto dual Smarandache curves [2] Inthispaper,weconsiderthenotionoftheSmarandachecurvesbymeansoftheasymptotic orthonormal frames of curves lying fully on Lightlike cone in Minkowski 3-space R3. We show 1 the relationships between frames and curvatures of Smarandache curves and curves lying on lightlike cone in R3. 1 §2. Preliminaries The Minkowski 3-space R3 is the real vector space R3 provided with the standart flat metric 1 1ReceivedNovember25,2016,Accepted August2,2017. 2 TanjuKahramanandHasanHu¨seyinUg˘urlu given by , = dx2+dx2+dx2 h i − 1 2 3 where(x ,x ,x )isarectangularcoordinatesystemofIR3. Anarbitraryvector~v =(v ,v ,v ) 1 2 3 1 1 2 3 in R3 can have one of three Lorentzian causal characters; it can be spacelike if ~v,~v > 0 or 1 h i ~v = 0, timelike if ~v,~v < 0 and null (lightlike) if ~v,~v = 0 and ~v = 0. Similarly, an arbitrary h i h i 6 curve ~x=~x(s) can locally be spacelike, timelike or null (lightlike), if all of its velocity vectors ~x(s) are respectively spacelike, timelike or null (lightlike) [6, 7]. We say that a timelike vector ′ is future pointing or past pointing if the first compound of the vector is positive or negative, respectively. Foranyvectors~a=(a ,a ,a )and~b=(b ,b ,b )inR3,inthemeaningofLorentz 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 vector product of~a and~b is defined by e e e 1 2 3 − − ~a×~b=(cid:12)(cid:12) a1 a2 a3 (cid:12)(cid:12)=(a2b3−a3b2, a1b3−a3b1, a2b1− a1b2).

If ε = 1, then x(s) is a spacelike curve with − timelike principal normal N~ and spacelike binormal B~ [8].
