AN ALGORITHM FOR JORDAN CANONICAL FORM OF A QUATERNION MATRIX

In this paper, we first introduce a concept of companion vector, and study the Jordan canonical forms of quaternion matrices by using the methods of complex rep resentation and companion vector, not only give out a practical algorithm for Jordan canonical form J of a quaternion matrix A, but also provide a practical algorithm for corresponding nonsingular matrix P with P-1AP = J.

64 Lines from a Quaternionic Polytope

An earlier computer calculation produced the vertices of a polytope in quaternionic 4-space, and determined their mutual angles all to be arccos (1/3). This note establishes a computer-independent verification.     

Anti-tori in Square Complex Groups

An anti-torus is a subgroup 〈a,b 〉 in the fundamental group of a compact non-positively curved space X, acting in a specific way on the universal covering space X such that a and b do not have any commuting nontrivial powers. We construct and investigate anti-tori in a class of commutative transitive fundamental groups of finite square complexes, in particular for the groups Γ_p,l originally studied by Mozes [Israel J. Math. 90(1–3) (1995), 253–294]. It turns out that anti-tori in Γ_p,l directly correspond to non commuting pairs of Hamilton quaternions. Moreover, free anti-tori in Γ_p,l are related to free groups generated by two integer quaternions, and also to free subgroups of . As an application, we prove that the multiplicative group generated by the two quaternions 1+2i and 1+4k is not free.     

THE BI-SELF-CONJUGATE AND NONNEGATIVE DEFINITE SOLUTIONS TO THE INVERSE EIGENVALUE PROBLEM OF QUATERNION MATRICES

The main aim of this paper is to discuss the following two problems:λm)∈Hm×m, find A ∈ BSH≥n×n such that AX= X∧, where BSH≥n×n denotes the set of all n × n quaternion matrices which are bi-self-conjugate and nonnegative definite.Problem Ⅱ:Given B ∈ Hn×m, find -B∈SE such that ||B- B||Q = minA∈sE ||B - A||Q,necessary and sufficient conditions for SE being nonempty are obtained. The general form of elements in SE and the expression of the unique solution B of problem Ⅱ are given.     

Involutions in split semi‐quaternions

A map is an involution (resp, anti‐involution) if it is a self‐inverse homomorphism (resp, antihomomorphism) of a field algebra. The main purpose of this paper is to show how split semi‐quaternions can be used to express half‐turn planar rotations in 3‐dimensional Euclidean space and how they can be used to express hyperbolic‐isoclinic rotations in 4‐dimensional semi‐Euclidean space . We present an involution and an anti‐involution map using split semi‐quaternions and give their geometric interpretations as half‐turn planar rotations in . Also, we give the geometric interpretation of nonpure unit split semi‐quaternions, which are in the form p = coshθ + sinhθ i + 0 j + 0 k = coshθ + sinhθ i , as hyperbolic‐isoclinic rotations in .     

Algebraic techniques for least squares problem over generalized quaternion algebras: A unified approach in quaternionic and split quaternionic theory

This paper aims to present, in a unified manner, algebraic techniques for least squares problem in quaternionic and split quaternionic mechanics. This paper, by means of a complex representation and a real representation of a generalized quaternion matrix, studies generalized quaternion least squares (GQLS) problem, and derives two algebraic methods for solving the GQLS problem. This paper gives not only algebraic techniques for least squares problem over generalized quaternion algebras, but also a unification of algebraic techniques for least squares problem in quaternionic and split quaternionic theory.     

Uncertainty principles for the right-sided multivariate continuous quaternion wavelet transform

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present some new elements of harmonic analysis related to the right-sided multivariate continuous quaternion wavelet transform. The main objective of this article is to introduce the concept of the right-sided multivariate continuous quaternion wavelet transform and investigate its different properties using the machinery of multivariate quaternion Fourier transform. Last, we have proven a number of uncertainty principles for the right-sided multivariate continuous quaternion wavelet transform.     

On the eigenvalues of quaternion matrices

This article is a continuation of the article [F. Zhang, Ger?gorin type theorems for quaternionic matrices, Linear Algebra Appl. 424 (2007), pp. 139–153] on the study of the eigenvalues of quaternion matrices. Profound differences in the eigenvalue problems for complex and quaternion matrices are discussed. We show that Brauer's theorem for the inclusion of the eigenvalues of complex matrices cannot be extended to the right eigenvalues of quaternion matrices. We also provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a complex square matrix to have infinitely many left eigenvalues, and analyse the roots of the characteristic polynomials for 2?×?2 matrices. We establish a characterisation for the set of left eigenvalues to intersect or be part of the boundary of the quaternion balls of Ger?gorin.
