TL;DR
This work addresses the problem of characterizing proper $\,f$-biharmonic $\theta_{\alpha}$-slant curves within $\mathcal{S}$-space forms. It derives a key third-order tension equation and, through a detailed case analysis dependent on the ambient curvature parameters $c$ and $s$ and the alignment of $\phi T$ with the structure vectors, provides necessary and sufficient conditions expressed in terms of the Frenet curvatures $k_1,k_2,k_3$ and the function $f$. The main contribution is a comprehensive characterization theorem (with explicit ODEs for $k_1$ and relations among curvatures) and an explicit construction of a proper $f$-biharmonic $\theta_{\alpha}$-slant curve in $\mathbb{R}^{6}(-6)$. The results extend the theory of biharmonic and slant curves in Sasakian-type geometries and offer a template for building such curves in concrete spaces with prescribed geometric data.
Abstract
In this paper, we firstly provide a concise overview of $\mathcal{S}-$manifolds, $f$-biharmonicity and $θ_{α}$-slant curves. We then derive a key equation and analyze it in detail to establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for $θ_{α}$-slant curves to be $f$-biharmonic. Finally, we present an example to support our findings.
