On the integration of kinematic equations in Rodrigues-Hamilton parameters
Abstract
The question of the numerical integration of the kinematic equations of a rigid body with one fixed point is examined. New algorithms are presented which make it possible to considerably improve the accuracy with which the position of the rigid body is determined.
