| 16 | [section Overview] | 
|---|
| 17 |  | 
|---|
| 18 | Quaternions are a relative of complex numbers. | 
|---|
| 19 |  | 
|---|
| 20 | Quaternions are in fact part of a small hierarchy of structures built | 
|---|
| 21 | upon the real numbers, which comprise only the set of real numbers | 
|---|
| 22 | (traditionally named __R), the set of complex numbers (traditionally named __C), | 
|---|
| 23 | the set of quaternions (traditionally named __H) and the set of octonions | 
|---|
| 24 | (traditionally named __O), which possess interesting mathematical properties | 
|---|
| 25 | (chief among which is the fact that they are ['division algebras], | 
|---|
| 26 | ['i.e.] where the following property is true: if ['[^y]] is an element of that | 
|---|
| 27 | algebra and is [*not equal to zero], then ['[^yx = yx']], where ['[^x]] and ['[^x']] | 
|---|
| 28 | denote elements of that algebra, implies that ['[^x = x']]). | 
|---|
| 29 | Each member of the hierarchy is a super-set of the former. | 
|---|
| 30 |  | 
|---|
| 31 | One of the most important aspects of quaternions is that they provide an | 
|---|
| 32 | efficient way to parameterize rotations in __R3 (the usual three-dimensional space) | 
|---|
| 33 | and __R4. | 
|---|
| 34 |  | 
|---|
| 35 | In practical terms, a quaternion is simply a quadruple of real numbers __quadrulple, | 
|---|
| 36 | which we can write in the form __quat_formula, where ['[^i]] is the same object as for complex numbers, | 
|---|
| 37 | and ['[^j]] and ['[^k]] are distinct objects which play essentially the same kind of role as ['[^i]]. | 
|---|
| 38 |  | 
|---|
| 39 | An addition and a multiplication is defined on the set of quaternions, | 
|---|
| 40 | which generalize their real and complex counterparts. The main novelty | 
|---|
| 41 | here is that [*the multiplication is not commutative] (i.e. there are | 
|---|
| 42 | quaternions ['[^x]] and ['[^y]] such that __not_equal). A good mnemotechnical way of remembering | 
|---|
| 43 | things is by using the formula ['[^i*i = j*j = k*k = -1]]. | 
|---|
| 44 |  | 
|---|
| 45 | Quaternions (and their kin) are described in far more details in this | 
|---|
| 46 | other [@../../libs/math/quaternion/TQE.pdf document] | 
|---|
| 47 | (with [@../../libs/math/quaternion/TQE_EA.pdf errata and addenda]). | 
|---|
| 48 |  | 
|---|
| 49 | Some traditional constructs, such as the exponential, carry over without | 
|---|
| 50 | too much change into the realms of quaternions, but other, such as taking | 
|---|
| 51 | a square root, do not. |

| 414 | A default constructor is provided for each form, which initializes |

| 415 | each component to the default values for their type | 
|---|
| 416 | (i.e. zero for floating numbers). This constructor can also accept | 
|---|
| 417 | one to four base type arguments. A constructor is also provided to | 
|---|
| 418 | build quaternions from one or two complex numbers sharing the same | 
|---|
| 419 | base type. The unspecialized template also sports a templarized copy | 
|---|
| 420 | constructor, while the specialized forms have copy constructors | 
|---|
| 421 | from the other two specializations, which are explicit when a risk of | 
|---|
| 422 | precision loss exists. For the unspecialized form, the base type's |

| 424 |  | 
|---|
| 425 | Destructors and untemplated copy constructors (from the same type) are | 
|---|
| 426 | provided by the compiler. Converting copy constructors make use of a | 
|---|
| 427 | templated helper function in a "detail" subnamespace. |

| 437 | Instead there is an "unreal part" which itself is a quaternion, |

| 438 | and usually nothing simpler (as opposed to the complex number case). |

| 715 | a (positive) magnitude and a point on the hypersphere, given by three angles. | 
|---|
| 716 | The first of these, `theta` has a natural range of `-pi` to `+pi`, and the other | 
|---|
| 717 | two have natural ranges of `-pi/2` to `+pi/2` (as is the case with the usual | 
|---|
| 718 | spherical coordinates in __R3). Due to the many symmetries and periodicities, | 
|---|
| 719 | nothing untoward happens if the magnitude is negative or the angles are | 
|---|
| 720 | outside their natural ranges. The expected degeneracies (a magnitude of |

| 723 | [#boost_math.quaternions.creation_cylindrical] `cylindrical` is likewise a simple transposition of the usual | 
|---|
| 724 | cylindrical coordinates in __R3, which in turn is another derivative of | 
|---|
| 725 | planar polar coordinates. The first two inputs are the polar coordinates of | 
|---|
| 726 | the first __C component of the quaternion. The third and fourth inputs | 
|---|
| 727 | are placed into the third and fourth __R components of the quaternion, |

| 728 | respectively. |

| 730 | [#boost_math.quaternions.creation_multipolar] `multipolar` is yet another simple generalization of polar coordinates. |

| 733 | [#boost_math.quaternions.creation_cylindrospherical] `cylindrospherical` is specific to quaternions. It is often interesting to |

|---|
| 735 | multiplication as then a special form, as given here). This function | 
|---|

|---|
| 738 |  | 
|---|
| 739 | [#boost_math.quaternions.creation_semipolar] `semipolar` is another generator which is specific to quaternions. | 
|---|
| 740 | It takes as a first input the magnitude of the quaternion, as a | 
|---|
| 741 | second input an angle in the range `0` to `+pi/2` such that magnitudes | 
|---|
| 742 | of the first two __C components of the quaternion are the product of the | 
|---|
| 743 | first input and the sine and cosine of this angle, respectively, and finally | 
|---|
| 744 | as third and fourth inputs angles in the range `-pi/2` to `+pi/2` which | 
|---|
| 745 | represent the arguments of the first and second __C components of | 
|---|
| 746 | the quaternion, respectively. As usual, nothing untoward happens if | 
|---|
| 747 | what should be magnitudes are negative numbers or angles are out of their | 
|---|
| 748 | natural ranges, as symmetries and periodicities kick in. | 
|---|

| 750 | In this version of our implementation of quaternions, there is no |

| 751 | analogue of the complex value operation `arg` as the situation is | 
|---|
| 752 | somewhat more complicated. Unit quaternions are linked both to | 
|---|
| 753 | rotations in __R3 and in __R4, and the correspondences are not too complicated, | 
|---|
| 754 | but there is currently a lack of standard (de facto or de jure) matrix |

| 755 | library with which the conversions could work. This should be remedied in |

| 772 | complexes (which is well defined, but not in the standard...). | 
|---|
| 773 | Talking of nonsense, saying that `pow(0,0)` is "implementation defined" is just | 
|---|
| 774 | plain brain-dead... | 
|---|
| 775 |  | 
|---|
| 776 | We do, however provide several transcendentals, chief among which is the | 
|---|
| 777 | exponential. This author claims the complete proof of the "closed formula" | 
|---|
| 778 | as his own, as well as its independant invention (there are claims to prior | 
|---|
| 779 | invention of the formula, such as one by Professor Shoemake, and it is | 
|---|
| 780 | possible that the formula had been known a couple of centuries back, but in | 
|---|
| 781 | absence of bibliographical reference, the matter is pending, awaiting further | 
|---|
| 782 | investigation; on the other hand, the definition and existence of the | 
|---|
| 783 | exponential on the quaternions, is of course a fact known for a very long time). | 
|---|
| 784 | Basically, any converging power series with real coefficients which allows for a | 
|---|
| 785 | closed formula in __C can be transposed to __H. More transcendentals of this | 
|---|
| 786 | type could be added in a further revision upon request. It should be | 
|---|
| 787 | noted that it is these functions which force the dependency upon the | 
|---|
| 788 | [@../../boost/math/special_functions/sinc.hpp boost/math/special_functions/sinc.hpp] and the | 
|---|
| 789 | [@../../boost/math/special_functions/sinhc.hpp boost/math/special_functions/sinhc.hpp] headers. |

|---|
| 843 | The [@../../libs/math/quaternion/quaternion_test.cpp quaternion_test.cpp] | 
|---|
| 844 | test program tests quaternions specializations for float, double and long double | 
|---|
| 845 | ([@../../libs/math/quaternion/output.txt sample output], with message output | 
|---|
| 846 | enabled). | 
|---|
| 847 |  | 
|---|
| 848 | If you define the symbol BOOST_QUATERNION_TEST_VERBOSE, you will get | 
|---|
| 849 | additional output ([@../../libs/math/quaternion/output_more.txt verbose output]); | 
|---|
| 850 | this will only be helpfull if you enable message output at the same time, | 
|---|
| 851 | of course (by uncommenting the relevant line in the test or by adding | 
|---|
| 852 | [^--log_level=messages] to your command line,...). In that case, and if you | 
|---|
| 853 | are running interactively, you may in addition define the symbol | 
|---|
| 854 | BOOST_INTERACTIVE_TEST_INPUT_ITERATOR to interactively test the input | 
|---|
| 855 | operator with input of your choice from the standard input | 
|---|
| 856 | (instead of hard-coding it in the test). |

|---|
| 890 |  | 
|---|
| 891 | * Improve testing. | 
|---|
| 892 | * Rewrite input operatore using Spirit (creates a dependency). | 
|---|
| 893 | * Put in place an Expression Template mechanism (perhaps borrowing from uBlas). | 
|---|
| 894 | * Use uBlas for the link with rotations (and move from the | 
|---|
| 895 | [@../../libs/math/quaternion/HSO3SO4.cpp example] | 
|---|
| 896 | implementation to an efficient one). |
