&-- — Subtracting two MAMBO vectors or descriptions [mupad/matlab]

Reference for maple version: Appendix B in Multibody Mechanics and Visualization by Harry Dankowicz, published by Springer Verlag UK, 2004.

Calling Sequence

v &-- w

&--(v,w)

Parameters

v,w: MAMBO vectors or compatible MAMBO descriptions

Description

The function &-- returns the difference between the two MAMBO vectors/descriptions v and w. It is computed using the formula

v &-- w = v &++ ((-1) &** w)

Two MAMBO descriptions are compatible provided that they have the same number of rows and the same number of columns.

Examples

Restart(): DeclareTriads(a,b): v:=MakeTranslations(a,1): w:=MakeTranslations([a,1],[b,2]): v &-- w;

Vector Subtraction Output 1

v &-- v;
