Detailed Description

template<size_t DerivOrder, typename Measurement>
struct control_system::Systems::Rotation< DerivOrder, Measurement >

Controls the 3D Rotation map.

Details

Controls the quaternion in the 3D Rotation map by updating a QuaternionFunctionOfTime .

Requirements:

  • The function of time this control system controls must be a QuaternionFunctionOfTime.
  • This control system requires that there be exactly two objects in the simulation
  • Currently both these objects must be black holes
  • Currently this control system can only be used with the BothHorizons measurement
  • Currently this control system can only be used with the Rotation control error
Note
Internally, QuaternionFunctionOfTime holds a PiecewisePolynomial representing the angle about each axis that the system has rotated through. The rotation control error is technically for this internal PiecewisePolynomial, not the quaternion itself. However, the user doesn't need to know this. The QuaternionFunctionOfTime::update() function takes care of everything automatically.
