D H, thanks for taking the time.
That clears everything up except for one thing.
Even if there is no general method for finding an analytical expression for the integral, an analytical expression must exist at least for some cases. I'm thinking of the example that started this thread. I've...
Thanks for replying, D H.
I recognize that quaternion multiplication is not commutative, but perhaps I don't recognize it enough. Note that I put q^{-1} on the left in the integrand; that is, I eliminated q on the right side by multiplying on the left by the inverse (on both sides). Is there...
It seems unfortunate that this thread died before the solution was reached.
Looking for an angular trajectory with constant magnitude of angular velocity, constant magnitude of angular acceleration, and constant magnitude of angular jerk, I derived an expression for an angular velocity very...
