Abstract:  We give the definition of $f$-biminimal submanifolds and derive the equation for $f$-biminimal submanifolds. As an application, we give some examples of $f$-biminimal manifolds. Finally, we consider $f$-minimal hypersurfaces in the product space $\mathbb{R}^n\times\mathbb{S}^1(a)$ and derive two rigidity theorems.
Keywords:  variational vector field; hypersurface; $f$-biminimal submanifold; mean curvature vector
