According to the above descriptions,
1 (i) First translation and then rotation:(3.201)
2 (ii) First rotation and then translation:(3.202)
The factorizations described above suggest the following definitions of pure rotational and translational displacements and the associated homogeneous transformation matrices.
1 (d) HTM of a Pure Rotation
A pure rotational displacement of
(3.203)
In Eq. (3.203),
Note that Eq. (3.203) is actually valid for any pivot point whatsoever. Therefore, the HTM of a pure rotational displacement does not actually need a subscript and thus it may be denoted even in the following simplest form.
Note also that Eqs. (3.203) and (3.204) verify the well‐known fact that a rotation operator is indifferent to the location of the pivot point.
1 (e) HTM of a Pure Translation
A pure translational displacement of

In general, the point P and the reference frames

The above affine relationship can be expressed in the following homogeneous form.
In Eq. (3.208), the coefficient matrix on the left‐hand side is the HTM of a pure rotation from
In case of a pure rotation with B = A, Eq. (3.209) takes the following form that involves
