The quaternion matrix equation ΣA i XB i =E

LetH _F be the generalized quaternion division algebra over a fieldF with charF#2. In this paper, the adjoint matrix of anyn×n matrix overH _F γ] is defined and its properties is discussed. By using the adjoint matrix and the method of representation matrix, this paper obtains several necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution or a unique solution to the matrix equation Σ _i=0 ^k A ⁱ XB _i =E overH _F , and gives some explicit formulas of solutions.
