Norm Euclidean Quaternionic Orders

Norm Euclidean Quaternionic Orders

We determine the norm Euclidean orders in a positive definite quaternion algebra over Q. Lagrange (1770) proved the four square theorem via Euler’s four square identity and a descent argument. Hurwitz [4] gave a quaternionic proof using the order Λ(2) with Z-basis: 1, i, j, 1 2 (1 + i + j + k). Here i = j = −1 and ij = −ji = k, the standard basis of the quaternions. The key property of Λ(2) is ...

On the Quaternionic Curves in the Semi-Euclidean Space E_4_2

In this study, we investigate the semi-real quaternionic curves in the semi-Euclidean space E_4_2. Firstly, we introduce algebraic properties of semi-real quaternions. Then, we give some characterizations of semi-real quaternionic involute-evolute curves in the semi-Euclidean space E42 . Finally, we give an example illustrated with Mathematica Programme.

On Euclidean norm approximations

Euclidean norm calculations arise frequently in scientific and engineering applications. Several approximations for this norm with differing complexity and accuracy have been proposed in the literature. Earlier approaches [1, 2, 3] were based on minimizing the maximum error. Recently, Seol and Cheun [4] proposed an approximation based on minimizing the average error. In this paper, we first exa...

Norm-euclidean Cyclic Fields of Prime Degree

Let K be a cyclic number field of prime degree `. Heilbronn showed that for a given ` there are only finitely many such fields that are normEuclidean. In the case of ` = 2 all such norm-Euclidean fields have been identified, but for ` 6= 2, little else is known. We give the first upper bounds on the discriminants of such fields when ` > 2. Our methods lead to a simple algorithm which allows one...
