Abstract

Four explicit formulae are presented to characterize the configurations of two ellipsoids such as separation, external touching or overlap. The formulas are given by the subresultant sequence of the characteristic polynomial of the two ellipsoids and its first derivative. Examples on detecting the collision of two moving ellipsoids are provided to flesh out our results.
