We develop the basic formulae of hyperspherical trigonometry in multidimensional Euclidean space, using multidimensional vector products, and their conversion to identities for elliptic functions. We show that the basic addition formulae…

Recursion formulae are derived for the calculation of two centre matrix elements of a radial function in relativistic quantum mechanics. The recursions are obtained between not necessarily diagonal radial eigensates using arbitrary radial…

It is shown that dyad vectors on a local domain of complex-number valued surface, when squared, form a set of four quaternion algebra units. A model of proto-particle is built by the dyad's rotation and stretching; this transformation…

Matrix elements of irreducible representations of the Lorentz group are calculated on the basis of complex angular momentum. It is shown that Laplace-Beltrami operators, defined in this basis, give rise to Fuchsian differential equations.…

We study properties of an array of numbers, called "the triangle," in which each row is formed by rotating all the numbers in the previous row to the left by $m$ positions in cyclical fashion, then appending a number to the end of the row.…

The review of modern study of algebraic, geometric and differential properties of quaternionic (Q) numbers with their applications. Traditional and "tensor" formulation of Q-units with their possible representations are discussed and groups…

Rotations in 3 dimensional space are equally described by the SU(2) and SO(3) groups. These isomorphic groups generate the same 3D kinematics using different algebraic structures of the unit quaternion. The Hopf Fibration is a projection…

We study the geometry of oriented right-angled hexagons in H^4, the hyperbolic 4-space, via Clifford numbers or quaternions. We show how to augment alternate sides of such a hexagon so that for the non-augmented sides, we can define…

Symmetry detection and discrimination are of fundamental meaning in science, technology, and engineering. This paper introduces reflection invariants and defines the directional moment to detect symmetry for shape analysis and object…

In this article we exploit the fact that the special relativistic formula which relates the energy and the 3-momentum of an elementary particle with its rest mass, resembles the pythagorean theorem for right triangles. Using such triangles,…

We prove the exponent $4/3$ for the lattice point discrepancy of a torus in $\mathbb{R}^3$ (generated by the rotation of a circle around the $z$ axis). The exponent comes from a diagonal term and it seems a natural limit for any approach…

A formal description of quaternions by means of exterior calculus is presented. Considering a three-dimensional space-time characterized by three time-like coordinates, we have been able to consistently recover a suitable formulation of…

Orientation estimation is a fundamental task in 3D shape analysis which consists of estimating a shape's orientation axes: its side-, up-, and front-axes. Using this data, one can rotate a shape into canonical orientation, where its…

The calculation of higher twist (or dimension) corrections to physical quantities using operator product expansions is delicate. If dimensional regularization is used to regulate the ultra-violet divergences then there are ambiguities in…

The linearization of the equations of motion of a robotics system about a given state-input trajectory, including a controlled equilibrium state, is a valuable tool for model-based planning, closed-loop control, gain tuning, and state…

A rotation in a Euclidean space V is an orthogonal map on V which acts locally as a plane rotation with some fixed angle. We give a classification of all pairs of rotations in finite-dimensional Euclidean space, up to simultaneous…

Symmetric orthogonalization via SVD, and closely related procedures, are well-known techniques for projecting matrices onto $O(n)$ or $SO(n)$. These tools have long been used for applications in computer vision, for example optimal 3D…

Imitation learning techniques have been used as a way to transfer skills to robots. Among them, dynamic movement primitives (DMPs) have been widely exploited as an effective and an efficient technique to learn and reproduce complex discrete…

We propose a novel quaternion product unit (QPU) to represent data on 3D rotation groups. The QPU leverages quaternion algebra and the law of 3D rotation group, representing 3D rotation data as quaternions and merging them via a weighted…

This paper is devoted to the construction of order reduced method of fourth order problems. A framework is presented such that a problem on a high-regularity space can be deduced in a constructive way to an equivalent problem on three…
