Abstract
Recently, B.-Y. Chen and O.J. Garay studied pointwise slant submanifolds of almost Hermitian manifolds. In this paper, first we study pointwise slant and pointwise pseudo-slant submanifolds of almost contact metric manifolds and then using this notion, we show that there exist a non-trivial class of warped product pointwise pseudo-slant submanifolds of Sasakian manifolds by giving some useful results, including a characterization.
