==Double Quaternions==

Note that double quaternions are different from dual quaternions.

Double quaternions are written as <math>q_1 + \epsilon q_2</math> with <math>\epsilon^2 = 1</math>.

Double quaternions are written as <math>q_1 + \epsilon q_2</math> with <math>\epsilon^2 = 1</math> and applied to a quaternion <math>p</math> representing a point as <math>q_1 p \bar{q}_2</math>.

Dual quaternions are written as <math>q_1 + \varepsilon q_2</math> with <math>\varepsilon^2 = 0</math>.

Dual quaternions are written as <math>q_1 + \varepsilon q_2</math> with <math>\varepsilon^2 = 0</math> and applied to a dual quaternion <math>p</math> representing a point as <math>(q_1 + \varepsilon q_2) p (\bar{q}_1 + \varepsilon \bar{q}_2)</math>

Thus, <math>R_1 R_2 = (R_1^L R_1^R) (R_2^L R_2^R) = (R_1^L R_2^L) (R_1^R R_2^R) = R</math>.

This shows that the composition of two double quaternions will be a double quaternion.
