释义 |
In mathematics, a Grassmann–Cayley algebra is the exterior algebra with an additional product, which may be called the shuffle product or the regressive product.{{refn| {{citation| last = Perwass | first = Christian | isbn = 978-3-540-89067-6 | mr = 2723749 | page = 115 | publisher = Springer-Verlag, Berlin | series = Geometry and Computing | title = Geometric algebra with applications in engineering | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=8IOypFqEkPMC&pg=PA115 | volume = 4 | year = 2009}}}} It is the most general structure in which projective properties are expressed in a coordinate-free way.{{refn| {{citation| author1 = Hongbo Li | author2 = Peter J.

It is a form of modeling algebra for use in projective geometry.{{cn|date=September 2017}} The technique uses subspaces as basic elements of computation, a formalism which allows the translation of synthetic geometric statements into invariant algebraic statements. This can create a useful framework for the modeling of conics and quadrics among other forms, and in tensor mathematics. It also has a number of applications in robotics, particularly for the kinematical analysis of manipulators. ReferencesExternal links
