We explicitly show that the groups of $2 \times 2$ unitary matrices with determinant equal to 1 whose entries are double or dual numbers are homomorphic to ${\rm SO}(2,1)$ or to the group of rigid motions of the Euclidean plane, respectively, and we introduce the corresponding two-component spinors. We show that with the aid of the double numbers we can find generating functions for separable solutions of the Laplace equation in the $(2 + 1)$ Minkowski space, which contain special functions that also appear in the solution of the Laplace equation in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, in spheroidal and toroidal coordinates.

Class Of Functions

Exact solutions to three-dimensional Stokes flow problems for asymmetric translation and rotation of two fused rigid spheres of equal size have been obtained in toroidal coordinates. The problems have been reduced to three-contour equations for meromorphic functions from a certain class, and then the latter have been reduced to Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by the Mehler–Fock transform of order 1. For the specified class of functions, the equivalence of the corresponding three-contour and Fredholm equations has been established in the framework of Riemann boundary-value problems for analytic functions. As an illustration for the obtained solutions, the pressure has been calculated at the surface of the body for both problems, and resisting force and torque, experienced by the body in asymmetric translation and rotation, have been computed as functions of a geometrical parameter of the body.

Geometric Incidences

Given a set of s points and a set of n2 lines in three-dimensional Euclidean space such that each line is incident to n points but no n lines are coplanar, we show that s = Ω(n11/4). This is the first non-trivial answer to a question recently posed by Jean Bourgain.

Proper Orthogonal

1. Introduction. We consider the group of proper orthogonal transformations (rotations) in three-dimensional Euclidean space, represented by real orthogonal matrices (aik) (i, k = 1,2,3) with determinant + 1 . It is known that this rotation group contains free (non-abelian) subgroups; in fact Hausdorff (5) showed how to find two rotations P and Q generating a group with only two non-trivial relationsP2 = Q3 = I.

Forward Kinematic

SUMMARYIn this paper, the forward kinematic analysis of 3-degree-of-freedom planar parallel robots with identical limb structures is presented. The proposed algorithm is based on Study's kinematic mapping (E. Study, “von den Bewegungen und Umlegungen,” Math. Ann.39, 441–565 (1891)), resultant method, and the Gröbner basis in seven-dimensional kinematic space. The obtained solution in seven-dimensional kinematic space of the forward kinematic problem is mapped into three-dimensional Euclidean space. An alternative solution of the forward kinematic problem is obtained using resultant method in three-dimensional Euclidean space, and the result is compared with the obtained mapping result from seven-dimensional kinematic space. Both approaches lead to the same maximum number of solutions: 2, 6, 6, 6, 2, 2, 2, 6, 2, and 2 for the forward kinematic problem of planar parallel robots; 3-RPR, 3-RPR, 3-RRR, 3-RRR, 3-RRP, 3-RPP, 3-RPP, 3-PRR, 3-PRR, and 3-PRP, respectively.

Integral Identities

We propose three integral criteria that must be satisfied by all closed surfaces with constant mean curvature immersed in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. These criteria are integral identities that follow from requiring the second variation of the area functional to be invariant under rigid displacements. We obtain from them a new proof of the old result by Delaunay, to the effect that the sphere is the only closed axis-symmetric surface.
