Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the problem of finding explicit parametrizations for the helicoidal surfaces in a conformally flat 3-space \(\mathbb {E}^3_F\) with prescribed extrinsic curvature or mean curvature given by smooth functions. Also, we give examples for helicoidal surfaces with some extrinsic curvature and mean curvature functions in \(\mathbb {E}^3_F\).
