دوران (رياضيات)

الدوران Rotation، في الرياضيات، هو مفهوم منشؤه في علم الهندسة. أي دروان هو عبارة عن حركة لفضاء معين يحافظ على على الأبعاد، في المستوى أو الفراغ. بالإضافة إلى الإزاحة والانعكاس. ونعني بالدوران بكلمات بسيطة، دوران شكل باتجاه معين (مع أو ضد عقارب الساعة)، حول نقطة معينة (هي مركز الدوران)، بزاوية معينة (هي مقدار هذا الدوران). فعندما تدور الأرض حول الشمس مثلا، يكون اتجاه الدوران من الغرب إلى الشرق، ومركز الدوران هو الشمس. وقد يكون الدوران بزاوية معينة، وعندما يكون بزاوية 90 درجة نسميه ربع دورة. وعندما يكون بزاوية 360 درجة نسميه دورة كاملة. وقد يكون أكثر من ذلك، كما في دوران الأرض حول الشمس، مثلا.^[1]

يحافظ الدوران على شكل الجسم الذي نقوم بتدويره وعلى حجمه. والشكل الناتج من الدوران مطابق تماماً للشكل قبل الدوران. إذا دورنا مثلثاً مثلاً، فان الناتج سيكون مثلثاً مطابقاً.

التعريف

الدوران هو تحويل هندسي، كثيراً ما نشاهده ونلمسه في حياتنا اليومية، مثل حركة المروحة الهوائية التي ثُبّتت في سقف الغرفة.

تحويل الدوران يُدير كل المستوي حول نقطة معينة وبزاوية معينة، كل نقاط المستوي تدور حول نفس النقطة وبنفس الزاوية، لذا عند وصف الدوران لا بد من ذكر زاويته ومركزه.

يمكن تمييز التحويل الدوراني بأمرين:

1- نقطة دوران.

2- زاوية دوران.

مركز الدوران

يلعب مركز الدوران دورا مشابها للدور الذي يلعبه خط التماثل في الانعكاس، فكما أن لكل انعكاس خط انعكاس كذلك فإن لكل دوران هناك مركز دوران، ويمكن القول أن الدوران يتحدد بثلاثة أمور هي: زاوية الدوران، اتجاه الدوران، ومركز الدوران.

لو أدرنا مسطرة حول نقطة في وسطها، لاختلف الشكل الذي نحصل عليه للمسطرة مما لو أدرناها حول نقطة في طرفها، حتى لو كانت زاوية الدوران واحدة في الحالتين، واتجاه الدوران واحدا.

ويشترك مركز الدوران مع خط الانعكاس في صفة أخرى: فمركز الدوران الذي هو نقطة لا يدور، تماما كما أن النقاط على خط الانعكاس لا تتحرك من مكانها بفعل الانعكاس.

A plane rotation around a point followed by another rotation around a different point results in a total motion which is either a rotation (as in this picture), or a translation.

A motion of a Euclidean space is the same as its isometry: it leaves the distance between any two points unchanged after the transformation. But a (proper) rotation also has to preserve the orientation structure. The "improper rotation" term refers to isometries that reverse (flip) the orientation. In the language of group theory the distinction is expressed as direct vs indirect isometries in the Euclidean group, where the former comprise the identity component. Any direct Euclidean motion can be represented as a composition of a rotation about the fixed point and a translation.

In one-dimensional space, there are only trivial rotations. In two dimensions, only a single angle is needed to specify a rotation about the origin – the angle of rotation that specifies an element of the circle group (also known as $U(1)$ ). The rotation is acting to rotate an object counterclockwise through an angle $θ$ about the origin; see below for details. Composition of rotations sums their angles modulo 1 turn, which implies that all two-dimensional rotations about the same point commute. Rotations about different points, in general, do not commute. Any two-dimensional direct motion is either a translation or a rotation; see Euclidean plane isometry for details.

Euler rotations of the Earth. Intrinsic (green), precession (blue) and nutation (red)

Rotations in three-dimensional space differ from those in two dimensions in a number of important ways. Rotations in three dimensions are generally not commutative, so the order in which rotations are applied is important even about the same point. Also, unlike the two-dimensional case, a three-dimensional direct motion, in general position, is not a rotation but a screw operation. Rotations about the origin have three degrees of freedom (see rotation formalisms in three dimensions for details), the same as the number of dimensions. A three-dimensional rotation can be specified in a number of ways. The most usual methods are:

Euler angles (pictured at the left). Any rotation about the origin can be represented as the composition of three rotations defined as the motion obtained by changing one of the Euler angles while leaving the other two constant. They constitute a mixed axes of rotation system because angles are measured with respect to a mix of different reference frames, rather than a single frame that is purely external or purely intrinsic. Specifically, the first angle moves the line of nodes around the external axis z, the second rotates around the line of nodes and the third is an intrinsic rotation (a spin) around an axis fixed in the body that moves. Euler angles are typically denoted as α, β, γ, or φ, θ, ψ. This presentation is convenient only for rotations about a fixed point.

Axis–angle representation (pictured at the right) specifies an angle with the axis about which the rotation takes place. It can be easily visualised. There are two variants to represent it:
- as a pair consisting of the angle and a unit vector for the axis, or
- as a Euclidean vector obtained by multiplying the angle with this unit vector, called the rotation vector (although, strictly speaking, it is a pseudovector).
Matrices, versors (quaternions), and other algebraic things: see the section Linear and Multilinear Algebra Formalism for details.

An orthogonal projection onto three-dimensions of a tesseract being rotated in four-dimensional Euclidean space.

A general rotation in four dimensions has only one fixed point, the centre of rotation, and no axis of rotation; see rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space for details. Instead the rotation has two mutually orthogonal planes of rotation, each of which is fixed in the sense that points in each plane stay within the planes. The rotation has two angles of rotation, one for each plane of rotation, through which points in the planes rotate. If these are $ω 1$ and $ω 2$ then all points not in the planes rotate through an angle between $ω 1$ and $ω 2$ . Rotations in four dimensions about a fixed point have six degrees of freedom. A four-dimensional direct motion in general position is a rotation about certain point (as in all even Euclidean dimensions), but screw operations exist also.

When one considers motions of the Euclidean space that preserve the origin, the distinction between points and vectors, important in pure mathematics, can be erased because there is a canonical one-to-one correspondence between points and position vectors. The same is true for geometries other than Euclidean, but whose space is an affine space with a supplementary structure; see an example below. Alternatively, the vector description of rotations can be understood as a parametrization of geometric rotations up to their composition with translations. In other words, one vector rotation presents many equivalent rotations about all points in the space.

A motion that preserves the origin is the same as a linear operator on vectors that preserves the same geometric structure but expressed in terms of vectors. For Euclidean vectors, this expression is their magnitude (Euclidean norm). In components, such operator is expressed with $n \times n$ orthogonal matrix that is multiplied to column vectors.

As it was already stated, a (proper) rotation is different from an arbitrary fixed-point motion in its preservation of the orientation of the vector space. Thus, the determinant of a rotation orthogonal matrix must be 1. The only other possibility for the determinant of an orthogonal matrix is −1, and this result means the transformation is a hyperplane reflection, a point reflection (for odd $n$ ), or another kind of improper rotation. Matrices of all proper rotations form the special orthogonal group.

As in two dimensions, a matrix can be used to rotate a point $(x, y, z)$ to a point $(x', y', z')$ . The matrix used is a 3×3 matrix, $A = (\begin{matrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{matrix})$

This is multiplied by a vector representing the point to give the result $A (\begin{matrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} x' \\ y' \\ z' \end{matrix})$

The set of all appropriate matrices together with the operation of matrix multiplication is the rotation group SO(3). The matrix $A$ is a member of the three-dimensional special orthogonal group, $SO(3)$ , that is it is an orthogonal matrix with determinant 1. That it is an orthogonal matrix means that its rows are a set of orthogonal unit vectors (so they are an orthonormal basis) as are its columns, making it simple to spot and check if a matrix is a valid rotation matrix.

Above-mentioned Euler angles and axis–angle representations can be easily converted to a rotation matrix.

Another possibility to represent a rotation of three-dimensional Euclidean vectors are quaternions described below.

الكواترنيون

Unit quaternions, or versors, are in some ways the least intuitive representation of three-dimensional rotations. They are not the three-dimensional instance of a general approach. They are more compact than matrices and easier to work with than all other methods, so are often preferred in real-world applications.^{[citation needed]}

A versor (also called a rotation quaternion) consists of four real numbers, constrained so the norm of the quaternion is 1. This constraint limits the degrees of freedom of the quaternion to three, as required. Unlike matrices and complex numbers two multiplications are needed:

$x^{'} = {q x q}^{- 1},$

where $q$ is the versor, $q -1$ is its inverse, and $x$ is the vector treated as a quaternion with zero scalar part. The quaternion can be related to the rotation vector form of the axis angle rotation by the exponential map over the quaternions, $q = e^{v / 2},$ where $v$ is the rotation vector treated as a quaternion.

A single multiplication by a versor, either left or right, is itself a rotation, but in four dimensions. Any four-dimensional rotation about the origin can be represented with two quaternion multiplications: one left and one right, by two different unit quaternions.

Further notes

More generally, coordinate rotations in any dimension are represented by orthogonal matrices. The set of all orthogonal matrices in $n$ dimensions which describe proper rotations (determinant = +1), together with the operation of matrix multiplication, forms the special orthogonal group $SO(n)$ .

Matrices are often used for doing transformations, especially when a large number of points are being transformed, as they are a direct representation of the linear operator. Rotations represented in other ways are often converted to matrices before being used. They can be extended to represent rotations and transformations at the same time using homogeneous coordinates. Projective transformations are represented by 4×4 matrices. They are not rotation matrices, but a transformation that represents a Euclidean rotation has a 3×3 rotation matrix in the upper left corner.

The main disadvantage of matrices is that they are more expensive to calculate and do calculations with. Also in calculations where numerical instability is a concern matrices can be more prone to it, so calculations to restore orthonormality, which are expensive to do for matrices, need to be done more often.

More alternatives to the matrix formalism

As was demonstrated above, there exist three multilinear algebra rotation formalisms: one with U(1), or complex numbers, for two dimensions, and two others with versors, or quaternions, for three and four dimensions.

In general (even for vectors equipped with a non-Euclidean Minkowski quadratic form) the rotation of a vector space can be expressed as a bivector. This formalism is used in geometric algebra and, more generally, in the Clifford algebra representation of Lie groups.

In the case of a positive-definite Euclidean quadratic form, the double covering group of the isometry group $S O (n)$ is known as the Spin group, $S p i n (n)$ . It can be conveniently described in terms of a Clifford algebra. Unit quaternions give the group $S p i n (3) ≅ S U (2)$ .

In spherical geometry, a direct motion^{[مطلوب توضيح]} of the $n$ -sphere (an example of the elliptic geometry) is the same as a rotation of $(n + 1)$ -dimensional Euclidean space about the origin ( $SO(n + 1)$ ). For odd $n$ , most of these motions do not have fixed points on the $n$ -sphere and, strictly speaking, are not rotations of the sphere; such motions are sometimes referred to as Clifford translations.^{[citation needed]} Rotations about a fixed point in elliptic and hyperbolic geometries are not different from Euclidean ones.^{[مطلوب توضيح]}

Affine geometry and projective geometry have not a distinct notion of rotation.

في النسبية

A generalization of a rotation applies in special relativity, where it can be considered to operate on a four-dimensional space, spacetime, spanned by three space dimensions and one of time. In special relativity, this space is called Minkowski space, and the four-dimensional rotations, called Lorentz transformations, have a physical interpretation. These transformations preserve a quadratic form called the spacetime interval.

If a rotation of Minkowski space is in a space-like plane, then this rotation is the same as a spatial rotation in Euclidean space. By contrast, a rotation in a plane spanned by a space-like dimension and a time-like dimension is a hyperbolic rotation, and if this plane contains the time axis of the reference frame, is called a "Lorentz boost". These transformations demonstrate the pseudo-Euclidean nature of the Minkowski space. Hyperbolic rotations are sometimes described as "squeeze mappings" and frequently appear on Minkowski diagrams that visualize (1 + 1)-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean geometry on planar drawings. The study of relativity deals with the Lorentz group generated by the space rotations and hyperbolic rotations.^[2]

Whereas $SO(3)$ rotations, in physics and astronomy, correspond to rotations of celestial sphere as a 2-sphere in the Euclidean 3-space, Lorentz transformations from $SO(3;1) +$ induce conformal transformations of the celestial sphere. It is a broader class of the sphere transformations known as Möbius transformations.

Rotations define important classes of symmetry: rotational symmetry is an invariance with respect to a particular rotation. The circular symmetry is an invariance with respect to all rotation about the fixed axis.

As was stated above, Euclidean rotations are applied to rigid body dynamics. Moreover, most of mathematical formalism in physics (such as the vector calculus) is rotation-invariant; see rotation for more physical aspects. Euclidean rotations and, more generally, Lorentz symmetry described above are thought to be symmetry laws of nature. In contrast, the reflectional symmetry is not a precise symmetry law of nature.

The complex-valued matrices analogous to real orthogonal matrices are the unitary matrices $U (n)$ , which represent rotations in complex space. The set of all unitary matrices in a given dimension $n$ forms a unitary group $U (n)$ of degree $n$ ; and its subgroup representing proper rotations (those that preserve the orientation of space) is the special unitary group $S U (n)$ of degree $n$ . These complex rotations are important in the context of spinors. The elements of $S U (2)$ are used to parametrize three-dimensional Euclidean rotations (see above), as well as respective transformations of the spin (see representation theory of SU(2)).
