Abstract
The author presents a representation for a line in Euclidean three-space which uses only four parameters (the minimum number possible). Unlike other four-parameter representations. it has no singularities and special cases. The representation readily generalizes to Euclidean n-space, where it uses 2n-2 parameters. Possible applications include data compression, handling sets of parallel lines, representing kinematic linkages, and optimization problems.Keywords
