Abstract
A kinematic analysis is given of the ambiguities which arise in the definitions of moving reference systems when general transformations are allowed on the space-time variables. It is shown how the classical theory permits an extension to any order of kinematic derivatives. In a relativistic treatment only the step to uniformly accelerated motions is possible in a direct manner. The discussion is limited to one-dimensional motions.Keywords
