Abstract :We study biharmonic curves in contact geometry whose mean curvature vector field is in the kernel of Laplacian. We give some results for biharmonic curves in Sasakian 3-space. We also give some characterizations for Legendre curves in the same space.
Keywords : Biharmonic curve, geodesic, circular helix, heneral helix, contactmanifold
