§1. 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

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

[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
