In this paper, we study ruled surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean and Minkowski space in terms of their Gauss map. We obtain classification theorems for these type of surfaces whose Gauss map G satisfying square G = f(G+C) for a constant vector C is an element of E-3 and a smooth function f, where square denotes the Cheng-Yau operator.
