چکیده

We present a new polar representation of quaternions inspired by the Cayley-Dickson representation. In this new polar representation, a quaternion is represented by a pair of complex numbers as in the Cayley-Dickson form, but here these two complex numbers are a complex ‘modulus’ and a complex ‘argument’. As in the Cayley-Dickson form, the two complex numbers are in the same complex plane (using the same complex root of −1), but the complex phase is multiplied by a different complex root of −1 in the exponential function. We show how to calculate the amplitude and phase from an arbitrary quaternion in Cartesian form.

Functions of Several Cayley-dickson Variables and Manifolds over Them

Functions of several octonion variables are investigated and integral representation theorems for them are proved. With the help of them solutions of the˜∂-equations are studied. More generally functions of several Cayley-Dickson variables are considered. Integral formulas of the Martinelli-Bochner, Leray, Koppelman type used in complex analysis here are proved in the new generalized form for f...

Inverse Young inequality in quaternion matrices

Inverse Young inequality asserts that if $nu >1$, then $|zw|ge nu|z|^{frac{1}{nu}}+(1-nu)|w|^{frac{1}{1-nu}}$, for all complex numbers $z$ and $w$, and equality holds if and only if $|z|^{frac{1}{nu}}=|w|^{frac{1}{1-nu}}$. In this paper the complex representation of quaternion matrices is applied to establish the inverse Young inequality for matrices of quaternions. Moreover, a necessary and ...

Similarity and Consimilarity of Elements in Real Cayley-dickson Algebras

Similarity and consimilarity of elements in the real quaternion, octonion, and sedenion algebras, as well as in the general real Cayley-Dickson algebras are considered by solving the two fundamental equations ax = xb and ax = xb in these algebras. Some consequences are also presented. AMS mathematics subject classifications: 17A05, 17A35.

On Integral Operator and Argument Estimation of a Novel Subclass of Harmonic Univalent Functions

Abstract. In this paper we define and verify a subclass of harmonic univalent functions involving the argument of complex-value functions of the form f = h + ¯g and investigate some properties of this subclass e.g. necessary and sufficient coefficient bounds, extreme points, distortion bounds and Hadamard product.Abstract. In this paper we define and verify a subclass of harmonic univalent func...

How to Obtain Division Algebras from a Generalized Cayley-dickson Doubling Process

We generalize the classical Cayley-Dickson doubling process starting with a quaternion algebra over a field F by allowing the scalar in the doubling to be an invertible element in the algebra. We investigate the resulting eight-dimensional algebras over F and show that they are division algebras for all scalars chosen in D outside of the base field F , if D is a division algebra.
