Let \(L^3\) denote the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space with the Lorentz metric of signature \((-,+,+)\). Let \(\Sigma\) be a smooth 2-manifold and \(X:\Sigma\to L^3\) a smooth map. A singular point \(p\in\Sigma\) of \(X\) is called a fold if there exist a local coordinate system \((U,\phi)\) around \(p\) and a diffeomorphism \(\Phi\) of \(L^3\) such that \(\Phi\circ X\circ\phi^{-1}=X_{\mathrm{fold}}\), where \(X_{\mathrm{fold}}(u,v)=(u,v^2,0)\). Similarly, if \(\Phi\circ X\circ\phi^{-1}=X_{(2,5)}\), where \(X_{(2,5)}(u,v)=(u,v^2,v^5)\), then \(p\) is called a \((2,5)\)-cuspidal edge. The authors prove that the generalized space-like surfaces with non-zero constant mean curvature do not admit any fold singular points. Next they show that for a space-like Delaunay surface with cone-like singular points, its conjugate has \((2,5)\)-cuspidal edges.
