As complex numbers are linked to the Euclidean geometry, so this system of numbers is linked to the pseudo-Euclidean plane geometry (space-time geometry). In this paper we will show how this system of numbers allows, by means of a Cartesian representation, an operative definition of hyperbolic functions using the invariance respect to special relativity Lorentz group. From this definition, by using elementary mathematics and an Euclidean approach, it is straightforward to formalize the pseudo-Euclidean trigonometry in the Cartesian plane with the same coherence as the Euclidean trigonometry.

These spaces can be classified according to the values of n: prime number, power of a prime number, general number. The question of the invertibility leads to the definition of a pseudo-norm for which the triangle inequality is not satisfied (the n = 1, 2 cases excepted). When one tries to pass from the polar form the cartesian one, one obtains functions generalizing the usual circular and hyperbolic functions and their inverse. The extended sine and hyperbolic sine functions thus constructed satisfy a determinantal-type relation and they lay the foundation of a new trigonometry for which summation and derivative formulas are given. An extended 2π quantity is defined as the periodicity of the generalized circular functions. This formalism is applied to solve the nth order differential equations (∑n−1i=1 (∂n/∂φni) ± ω) ƒ(φ) = 0. As a further application, the solutions of the n-laplacian operator are derived.

Research paper thumbnail of A Method of Spatial Reasoning Based on Qualitative Trigonometry

This paper presents a computational approach to representing and reasoning about spatial constraints in two-dimensional Euclidean space, where the a priori spatial information is not precisely expressed in quantitative terms. The spatial quantities considered in this work are qualitative distances and qualitative orientation angles. Here, we explicitly define the semantics of these quantities and thereafter formulate a representation of qualitative trigonometry (QTRIG). The resulting QTRIG formalism provides the necessary inference rules for qualitative spatial reasoning. In the paper, we illustrate how the QTRIG relationships can be employed in generating qualitative spatial descriptions in two-dimensional Euclidean geometric problems, and furthermore, how the derived qualitative spatial descriptions can be used to guide a simulated-annealing-based exact quantitative value assignment. Finally, we discuss an application of the proposed spatial reasoning method to the kinematic constraint analysis in computer-aided pre-parametric mechanism design.

Naber provides an interesting introduction to the special theory of relativity that is mathematically rigorous and yet spells out in considerable detail the physical significance of the mathematics. His mathematical model is based on a special indefinite inner product of index one and its associated group of orthogonal transformations (the Lorentz group). Also, in the same monograph, the Hawking, King and McCarthy’s topology [6] is presented. This topology is physically well motivated and has the remarkable property that its homeomorphism group is essentially just the Lorentz group. Starting from the remark that the inner product and the topology above can be generated by the so-called hyperbolic complex numbers, in this paper we introduce and study two-dimensional geometries and physics generated in a similar manner, by the more general so-called complex-type numbers, i.e. of the typez=x+qy,q ∉ ℝ, whereq 2=A+q(2B), A,A, B ∉ ℝ fixed.

We give inequalities describing the exact range of the four basic invariants. We express the angular invariants of a triangle with our basic invariants, giving a new completely elementary proof of the laws of trigonometry. As a corollary we derive a large number of congruence theorems. Finally we get, in exactly the same way, the corresponding results for triangles in the complex and quaternion hyperbolic spaces ℂH n and ℍH n (n≥2).
