A brief introduction to quaternion matrices and linear algebra and on bounded groups of quaternion matrices
The division algebra of real quaternions, as the only noncommutative normed division real algebra up to isomorphism of normed algebras, is of great importance. In this note, first we present a brief introduction to quaternion matrices and quaternion linear algebra. This, among other things, will help us present the counterpart of a theorem of Herman Auerbach in the setting of quaternions. More ...
متن کاملEnabling quaternion derivatives: the generalized HR calculus
Quaternion derivatives exist only for a very restricted class of analytic (regular) functions; however, in many applications, functions of interest are real-valued and hence not analytic, a typical case being the standard real mean square error objective function. The recent HR calculus is a step forward and provides a way to calculate derivatives and gradients of both analytic and non-analytic...

A new and relatively simple version of the quaternion calculus is offered which is especially suitable for applications in molecular symmetry and structure. After introducing the real quaternion algebra and its classical matrix representation in the group SO(4) the relations with vectors in 3-space and the connection with the rotation group SO(3) through automorphism properties of the algebra a...

Quaternion quantum mechanics is examined at the level of unbroken SU(2) gauge symmetry. A general quaternionic phase expression is derived from formal properties of the quaternion algebra. pacs 03.65.Bz, 03.65.Ca,11.15.Kc, 02.30.+g 1 Quaternion Quantum Mechanics Quantum mechanics defined over general algebras have been conjectured since 1934 [1]. In 1936 Birkoff and von Neumann noted that the p...
متن کاملSome results on higher numerical ranges and radii of quaternion matrices
Let $n$ and $k$ be two positive integers, $kleq n$ and $A$ be an $n$-square quaternion matrix. In this paper, some results on the $k-$numerical range of $A$ are investigated. Moreover, the notions of $k$-numerical radius, right $k$-spectral radius and $k$-norm of $A$ are introduced, and some of their algebraic properties are studied.
