It is shown that physical signals and space-time intervals modeled on split-octonion geometry naturally exhibit properties from conventional (3+1)-theory (e.g. number of dimensions, existence of maximal velocities, Heisenberg uncertainty,…
Dual quaternion algebra and its application to robotics have gained considerable interest in the last two decades. Dual quaternions have great geometric appeal and easily capture physical phenomena inside an algebraic framework that is…
This paper shows how to write Maxwell's Equations in Hamilton's Quaternions. The fact that the quaternion product is non-commuting leads to distinct left and right derivatives which must both be included in the theory. A new field component…
In this paper, we introduce and explore augmented quaternions and augmented unit quaternions, and present an augmented unit quaternion optimization model. An augmented quaternion consist of a quaternion and a translation vector. The…
A kinematic approach for the identification of flow instabilities is proposed. By defining a flow instability in the Lagrangian frame as the increased folding of lines of fluid particles, subtle perturbations and unstable growth thereof are…

The parameterisation of rotations in three dimensional Euclidean space is an area of applied mathematics that has long been studied, dating back to the original works of Euler in the 18th century. As such, many ways of parameterising a…
We consider a broad class of systems of nonlinear integro-differential equations posed on the real line that arise as Euler-Lagrange equations to energies involving nonlinear nonlocal interactions. Although these equations are not readily…

Noether's Theorem yields conservation laws for a Lagrangian with a variational symmetry group. The explicit formulae for the laws are well known and the symmetry group is known to act on the linear space generated by the conservation laws.…
We prove the existence of time-periodic leapfrogging vortex rings for the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations, thereby providing a rigorous realization of a phenomenon first conjectured by Helmholtz (1858). In the leapfrogging…
The attitude of a rigid-body in the three dimensional space has a unique and global definition on the Special Orthogonal Group SO (3). This paper gives an overview of the rotation matrix, attitude kinematics and parameterization. The four…
The fate of small particles in turbulent flows depends strongly on the surrounding fluid's velocity gradient properties such as rotation and strain-rates. For non-inertial (fluid) particles, the Restricted Euler model provides a simple,…
We consider the incompressible three-dimensional Euler equations for a vortex ring with Kelvin waves undergoing radially expanding Lagrangian transport. To clarify the fundamental mechanisms underlying nonlinear scale-local deformations of…
The algebra of fourvectors is described. The fourvectors are more appropriate than the Hamilton quaternions for its use in Physics and the sciences in general. The fourvectors embrace the 3D vectors in a natural form. It is shown the…
A formalism of classical mechanics is given for time-dependent many-body states of quantum mechanics, describing both fluid flow and point mass trajectories. The familiar equations of energy, motion, and those of Lagrangian mechanics are…
