Degenerate Monge-Type Hypersurfaces

Main Article Content

David N. Pham

Abstract

In this note, we extend the notion of a Monge hypersurface from its roots in semi-Euclidean space to more general spaces.   For the degenerate case, the geometry of these structures is studied using the Bejancu-Duggal method of screen distributions.
