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

| A default constructor is provided for each form, which initializes
 | |
| each component to the default values for their type
 | |
| (i.e. zero for floating numbers). This constructor can also accept
 | |
| one to four base type arguments. A constructor is also provided to
 | |
| build quaternions from one or two complex numbers sharing the same
 | |
| base type. The unspecialized template also sports a templarized copy
 | |
| constructor, while the specialized forms have copy constructors
 | |
| from the other two specializations, which are explicit when a risk of
 | |
| precision loss exists. For the unspecialized form, the base type's
 | |
| constructors must not throw.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Destructors and untemplated copy constructors (from the same type) are
 | |
| provided by the compiler. Converting copy constructors make use of a
 | |
| templated helper function in a "detail" subnamespace.

 | |
| 
 | |
|    T             real() const;
 | |
|    quaternion<T> unreal() const;
 | |
| 
 | |
| Like complex number, quaternions do have a meaningful notion of "real part",
 | |
| but unlike them there is no meaningful notion of "imaginary part".
 | |
| Instead there is an "unreal part" which itself is a quaternion,
 | |
| and usually nothing simpler (as opposed to the complex number case).
 | |
| These are returned by the first two functions.

 | |
|    T R_component_4() const;
 | |
| 
 | |
| A quaternion having four real components, these are returned by these four

| functions. Hence real and R_component_1 return the same value.

 | |
| 
 | |
|    ::std::complex<T>  C_component_1() const;

 | |
| 
 | |
| A quaternion likewise has two complex components, and as we have seen above,
 | |
| for any quaternion __quat_formula we also have __quat_complex_formula. These functions return them.
 | |
| The real part of `q.C_component_1()` is the same as `q.real()`.

 | |
|    quaternion<T>& operator = (::std::complex<T> const& a_affecter);
 | |
| 
 | |
| These perform the expected assignment, with type modification if necessary
 | |
| (for instance, assigning from a base type will set the real part to that
 | |
| value, and all other components to zero). For the unspecialized form,
 | |
| the base type's assignment operators must not throw.

 | |
|

| These perform the mathematical operation `(*this)+rhs` and store the result in

| 
 | |
| These perform the mathematical operation `(*this)*rhs` [*in this order]
 | |
| (order is important as multiplication is not commutative for quaternions)
 | |
| and store the result in `*this`. The unspecialized form has exception guards,

| [h4 Stream Extractor]
 | |
| 
 | |
|    template<typename T, typename charT, class traits>
 | |
|    ::std::basic_istream<charT,traits>& operator >> (::std::basic_istream<charT,traits> & is, quaternion<T> & q);
 | |
| 
 | |
| Extracts a quaternion q of one of the following forms
 | |
| (with a, b, c and d of type `T`):
 | |
| 
 | |
| [^a (a), (a,b), (a,b,c), (a,b,c,d) (a,(c)), (a,(c,d)), ((a)), ((a),c), ((a),(c)), ((a),(c,d)), ((a,b)), ((a,b),c), ((a,b),(c)), ((a,b),(c,d))]
 | |
| 
 | |
| The input values must be convertible to `T`. If bad input is encountered,
 | |
| calls `is.setstate(ios::failbit)` (which may throw ios::failure (27.4.5.3)).
 | |
| 
 | |
| [*Returns:] `is`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The rationale for the list of accepted formats is that either we have a
 | |
| list of up to four reals, or else we have a couple of complex numbers,
 | |
| and in that case if it formated as a proper complex number, then it should
 | |
| be accepted. Thus potential ambiguities are lifted (for instance (a,b) is
 | |
| (a,b,0,0) and not (a,0,b,0), i.e. it is parsed as a list of two real numbers
 | |
| and not two complex numbers which happen to have imaginary parts equal to zero).

 | |
| 
 | |
| Inserts the quaternion q onto the stream `os` as if it were implemented as follows:
 | |
| 
 | |
|    template<typename T, typename charT, class traits>
 | |
|    ::std::basic_ostream<charT,traits>& operator << (

| Euclidian norm (and quadratic functionals). For this version of

| (also known as magnitude) is the square root of the Cayley norm.

| 
 | |
|    template<typename T> quaternion<T> spherical(T const & rho, T const & theta, T const & phi1, T const & phi2);
 | |
|    template<typename T> quaternion<T> semipolar(T const & rho, T const & alpha, T const & theta1, T const & theta2);
 | |
|    template<typename T> quaternion<T> multipolar(T const & rho1, T const & theta1, T const & rho2, T const & theta2);
 | |
|    template<typename T> quaternion<T> cylindrospherical(T const & t, T const & radius, T const & longitude, T const & latitude);
 | |
|    template<typename T> quaternion<T> cylindrical(T const & r, T const & angle, T const & h1, T const & h2);
 | |
| 
 | |
| These build quaternions in a way similar to the way polar builds complex
 | |
| numbers, as there is no strict equivalent to polar coordinates for quaternions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| [#math_quaternions.creation_spherical] `spherical` is a simple transposition of `polar`, it takes as inputs
 | |
| a (positive) magnitude and a point on the hypersphere, given by three angles.
 | |
| The first of these, `theta` has a natural range of `-pi` to `+pi`, and the other
 | |
| two have natural ranges of `-pi/2` to `+pi/2` (as is the case with the usual
 | |
| spherical coordinates in __R3). Due to the many symmetries and periodicities,
 | |
| nothing untoward happens if the magnitude is negative or the angles are
 | |
| outside their natural ranges. The expected degeneracies (a magnitude of
 | |
| zero ignores the angles settings...) do happen however.
 | |
| 
 | |
| [#math_quaternions.creation_cylindrical] `cylindrical` is likewise a simple transposition of the usual
 | |
| cylindrical coordinates in __R3, which in turn is another derivative of
 | |
| planar polar coordinates. The first two inputs are the polar coordinates of
 | |
| the first __C component of the quaternion. The third and fourth inputs
 | |
| are placed into the third and fourth __R components of the quaternion,
 | |
| respectively.
 | |
| 
 | |
| [#math_quaternions.creation_multipolar] `multipolar` is yet another simple generalization of polar coordinates.
 | |
| This time, both __C components of the quaternion are given in polar coordinates.
 | |
| 
 | |
| [#math_quaternions.creation_cylindrospherical] `cylindrospherical` is specific to quaternions. It is often interesting to
 | |
| consider __H as the cartesian product of __R by __R3 (the quaternionic
 | |
| multiplication as then a special form, as given here). This function
 | |
| therefore builds a quaternion from this representation, with the __R3
 | |
| component given in usual __R3 spherical coordinates.
 | |
| 
 | |
| [#math_quaternions.creation_semipolar] `semipolar` is another generator which is specific to quaternions.
 | |
| It takes as a first input the magnitude of the quaternion, as a
 | |
| second input an angle in the range `0` to `+pi/2` such that magnitudes
 | |
| of the first two __C components of the quaternion are the product of the
 | |
| first input and the sine and cosine of this angle, respectively, and finally
 | |
| as third and fourth inputs angles in the range `-pi/2` to `+pi/2` which
 | |
| represent the arguments of the first and second __C components of
 | |
| the quaternion, respectively. As usual, nothing untoward happens if
 | |
| what should be magnitudes are negative numbers or angles are out of their
 | |
| natural ranges, as symmetries and periodicities kick in.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In this version of our implementation of quaternions, there is no
 | |
| analogue of the complex value operation `arg` as the situation is
 | |
| somewhat more complicated. Unit quaternions are linked both to
 | |
| rotations in __R3 and in __R4, and the correspondences are not too complicated,
 | |
| but there is currently a lack of standard (de facto or de jure) matrix
 | |
| library with which the conversions could work. This should be remedied in
 | |
| a further revision. In the mean time, an example of how this could be
 | |
| done is presented here for
 | |
| [@../../example/HSO3.hpp __R3], and here for
 | |
| [@../../example/HSO4.hpp __R4]
 | |
| ([@../../example/HSO3SO4.cpp example test file]).

 | |
| [section:trans Quaternion Transcendentals]
 | |
| 
 | |
| There is no `log` or `sqrt` provided for quaternions in this implementation,
 | |
| and `pow` is likewise restricted to integral powers of the exponent.
 | |
| There are several reasons to this: on the one hand, the equivalent of
 | |
| analytic continuation for quaternions ("branch cuts") remains to be
 | |
| investigated thoroughly (by me, at any rate...), and we wish to avoid the
 | |
| nonsense introduced in the standard by exponentiations of complexes by
 | |
| complexes (which is well defined, but not in the standard...).
 | |
| Talking of nonsense, saying that `pow(0,0)` is "implementation defined" is just
 | |
| plain brain-dead...
 | |
| 
 | |
| We do, however provide several transcendentals, chief among which is the
 | |
| exponential. This author claims the complete proof of the "closed formula"
 | |
| as his own, as well as its independant invention (there are claims to prior
 | |
| invention of the formula, such as one by Professor Shoemake, and it is
 | |
| possible that the formula had been known a couple of centuries back, but in
 | |
| absence of bibliographical reference, the matter is pending, awaiting further
 | |
| investigation; on the other hand, the definition and existence of the
 | |
| exponential on the quaternions, is of course a fact known for a very long time).
 | |
| Basically, any converging power series with real coefficients which allows for a
 | |
| closed formula in __C can be transposed to __H. More transcendentals of this
 | |
| type could be added in a further revision upon request. It should be
 | |
| noted that it is these functions which force the dependency upon the
 | |
| [@../../../../boost/math/special_functions/sinc.hpp boost/math/special_functions/sinc.hpp] and the
 | |
| [@../../../../boost/math/special_functions/sinhc.hpp boost/math/special_functions/sinhc.hpp] headers.
