Non-parabolic conical rotations

Abstract

In this paper, we determine non-parabolic conical motions that occur on any given ellipse or hyperbola without using affine transformations. To achieve this aim, first, we define a generalized inner product whose circle is the given ellipse or hyperbola, and then determine elliptical and hyperbolic versions of skew-symmetric and orthogonal matrices using the associated inner product. Finally, we generate elliptical and hyperbolic versions of rotation and reflection matrices using the famous Rodrigues, Cayley, and Householder transformations. For each of the generalized formulas, we give numerical examples.
