DUAL SPLIT QUATERNIONS AND SCREW MOTION IN MINKOWSKI 3-SPACE

Abstract

In this paper, two new Hamilton operators are defined and the algebra of dual split quaternions isdeveloped using these operators. It is shown that finite screw motions in Minkowski 3-space can be expressedby dual-number ( 3×3 ) matrices in dual Lorentzian space. Moreover, by means of Hamilton operators, screwmotion is obtained in 3-dimensional Minkowski space 3R1
