Relevant literature for these methods

[petroskarypis]

Hi, I was wondering if there are some relevant papers on the linear and SLERP merging methods. Thanks!

There's a great paper on linear model merging here. I'm not aware of any papers that cover SLERP as it specifically applies to model merging, but if you want one on the interpolation method itself there's always Ken Shoemaker's original paper Animating Rotation with Quaternion Curves.
