Open Live Script

Create a 4-by-1 quaternion array A.

A = quaternion(magic(4))
A=4×1 quaternion array
     16 +  2i +  3j + 13k
      5 + 11i + 10j +  8k
      9 +  7i +  6j + 12k
      4 + 14i + 15j +  1k

Compute the exponential of A.

B = exp(A)
B=4×1 quaternion array
     5.3525e+06 + 1.0516e+06i + 1.5774e+06j + 6.8352e+06k
        -57.359 -     89.189i -     81.081j -     64.865k
        -6799.1 +     2039.1i +     1747.8j +     3495.6k
          -6.66 +     36.931i +     39.569j +     2.6379k

Input Arguments

collapse all

Input quaternion, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.

Data Types: quaternion

Output Arguments

Algorithms

Given a quaternion A=a+bi+cj+dk=a+v¯, the exponential is computed by

exp(A)=ea(cos‖v¯‖+v¯‖v¯‖sin‖v¯‖)
