Key words: Warped product, contact QR-warped product, Sasakian space form 1. Introduction ˜ be a hermitian manifold and denoted by J the almost complex structure on M ˜ . Yano and Ishihara (see Let M [13]) considered a submanifold M whose tangent bundle T M splits into a complex subbundle D and a totally real subbundle D⊥ . Later, such a submanifold was called a CR-submanifold [4],[3]. Blair and Chen [4] proved that a CR-submanifold of a locally conformal Ka¨ aler manifold is a Cauchy-Riemann manifold in the sense of Greenfield. Recently, Chen [5] introduced the notion of a CR-warped product submanifold in a Ka¨ aler manifold. He established a sharp relationship between the mapping function f of a warped product CR-submanifold M1 ×f M2 ˜ and the squared norm of the second fundamental form h [5]. of a Ka¨ aler manifold M In 1971, Kenmotsu [7] introduced a class of almost contact metric manifolds, called Kenmotsu manifold, ¨ ur [10] which is not Sasakian. Kenmotsu manifolds have been studied by several authors such as Piti¸s [12], Ozg¨ ¨ ur and De [11]. and Ozg¨ ¯ (n+p) 4 be a quaternionic Ka¨ aler manifold with real dimension of n + p. Let M be an n-dimensional Let M ¯ (n+p) 4 QR-submanifold of QR dimension (p − 3) isometrically immersed
