In this paper, we obtain equations of circular surfaces by using unit quaternions and express these surfaces in terms of homothetic motions. Furthermore, we introduce new roller coaster surfaces constructed by the spherical indicatrices of a spatial curve in Euclidean [Formula: see text]-space. Then, we express parametric equations of roller coaster surfaces by means of unit quaternions and orthogonal matrices corresponding to these quaternions. Moreover, we present some illustrated examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
