It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…

In this paper, we consider several geometric inverse problems for linear elliptic systems. We prove uniqueness and stability results. In particular, we show the way that the observation depends on the perturbations of the domain. In some…
We present algebraic projective geometry definitions of 3D rotations so as to bridge a small gap between the applications and the definitions of 3D rotations in homogeneous matrix form. A general homogeneous matrix formulation to 3D…
The well-known linear Doppler effect arises from the linear motion between source and observer, while the less well-known rotational Doppler effect arises from the rotational motion. Here, we present both theories and experiments…
Assuming a suitable rotation of the Universe as a whole, we can attribute the rotation of galaxies to it. Using Lagrangian Mechanics we then can find the equations governing the rotation of a galaxy. We find in this way the azimuthal…
Objects' rigid motions in 3D space are described by rotations and translations of a highly-correlated set of points, each with associated $x,y,z$ coordinates that real-valued networks consider as separate entities, losing information.…
Recent results for rotations expressed as polynomials of spin matrices are derived here by elementary differential equation methods. Structural features of the results are then examined in the framework of biorthogonal systems, to obtain an…
