摘要
In this paper, we consider the normal hypersurfaces associated with timelike curves in Minkowski 4-space which are confined in de Sitter 3-space. We classify the generic singularities of the normal hypersurfaces, which are cuspidal edges, swallowtails and butter-files. And reveal the relationships between these singularities and the Lorentzian invariants of timelike curves by applying the singularity theory.
