Do someone have links to resources stating the relationship between IRF velocity function over time v(t) and the proper acceleration function over time a(t) ?

IRF=Inertial Reference Frame

I had tried to use materials inside Baez FAQ :

http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/rocket.html

and did the math in my blog :

http://orimath.blogspot.com/2008/08/mathematical-basis-of-rtc7683.html

But it seems that equation 8 in that mathematical attempt is wrong.


Thanks in advance for your help.

I haven't had time to read your blog, but you might find posts #13, #14, #15 (and the correction in post #28) of this thread (http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=242590) helpful. All except the second half of post #15 applies to both uniform and non-uniform acceleration (in a straight line).
