The minimum number of rotations about two axes for constructing an arbitrarily fixed rotation
For any pair of three-dimensional real unit vectors m^ and n^ with |m^Tn^|<1 and any rotation U, let Nm^,n^(U) denote the least value of a positive integer k such that U can be decomposed into a product of k rotations about either m^ or n^. This work gives the number Nm^,n^(U) as a function of U....
