Let b i := T B E e i {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {b}}_{i}:=T_{B}^{E}{\boldsymbol {e}}_{i}} be the basis vectors of B {\displaystyle B} , as seen from the reference frame E {\displaystyle E} , and denote the components of a vector f {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {f}}} in B {\displaystyle B} by just f i {\displaystyle f_{i}} . Let
so that this coordinate transformation is generated, in time, according to T ′ = G ⋅ T {\displaystyle T'=G\cdot T} . Such a generator differential equation is important for trajectories in Lie group theory. Applying the product rule with implict summation convention,
For the rotation groups S O ( n ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {SO} }(n)} , one has T E B := ( T B E ) − 1 = ( T B E ) T {\displaystyle T_{E}^{B}:=(T_{B}^{E})^{-1}=(T_{B}^{E})^{T}} . In three dimensions, n = 3 {\displaystyle n=3} , the generator G {\displaystyle G} then equals the cross product operation from the left, a skew-symmetric linear map [ Ω E ] × g := Ω E × g {\displaystyle [{\boldsymbol {\Omega }}_{E}]_{\times }{\boldsymbol {g}}:={\boldsymbol {\Omega }}_{E}\times {\boldsymbol {g}}} for any vector g {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {g}}} . As a matrix, it is also related to the vector as seen from B {\displaystyle B} via
