In the paper a new structure of Multi-Layer Perceptron, able to deal with quaternion-valued signal, is proposed. A learning algorithm for the proposed Quaternion MLP (QMLP) is also derived. Such a neural network allows to interpolate functions of quaternion variable with a smaller number of connections with respect to the corresponding real valued MLP. INTRODUCTION In the last few years, neural...

A novel quaternion color representation tool is proposed to the images and videos efficiently. In this work, we consider a full model for representation and processing color images in the quaternion algebra. Color images are presented in the threefold complex plane where each color component is described by a complex image. Our preliminary experimental results show significant performance impro...

Let O be a maximal order in a definite quaternion algebra over Q of prime discriminant p, and ` a small prime. We describe a probabilistic algorithm, which for a given left O-ideal, computes a representative in its left ideal class of `-power norm. In practice the algorithm is efficient, and subject to heuristics on expected distributions of primes, runs in expected polynomial time. This breaks...

In the sln case, A. Berenstein and A. Zelevinsky studied in [3] the Schützenberger involution in terms of Lusztig’s canonical basis. We generalize their construction and formulas for any semisimple Lie algebra. We use the geometric lifting of the canonical basis, on which an analogue of the Schützenberger involution can be given. As an application, we construct semitoric degenerations of Richar...

In this paper we prove an analogue of Mordell’s inequality for lattices in finite-dimensional complex or quaternionic Hermitian space that are modules over a maximal order in an imaginary quadratic number field or a totally definite rational quaternion algebra. This inequality implies that 16dimensional Barnes-Wall lattice has optimal density among all 16-dimensional lattices with Hurwitz struc...

1. Formulae for genera, volumes, class numbers Throughout these notes, we shall use D to denote the product of an even number (possibly zero) of distinct primes, and D′ the product of an odd number of distinct primes. Thus D (resp. D′) is the discriminant of a unique indefinite (resp. definite) rational quaternion algebra B/Q of discriminant D (resp. D′). Recall that the discriminant map induce...

The necessary appearance of Clifford algebras in the quantum description of fermions has prompted us to re-examine the fundamental role played by the quaternion Clifford algebra, C0,2. This algebra is essentially the geometric algebra describing the rotational properties of space. Hidden within this algebra are symplectic structures with Heisenberg algebras at their core. This algebra also enab...

In this paper, we present quaternion matrix algebra techniques that can be used to process the eigen analysis of a color image. Applications of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in image processing are numerous, and the proposed tools aim to give material for color image processing, that take into account their particular nature. For this purpose, we use the quaternion model for color images a...

In this paper, we give an algorithm for presenting S-unit groups of an order O in a definite rational quaternion algebra B such that, for every p ∈ S at which B splits, the localization of O at p is maximal and all left ideals of O of norm p are principal. We then apply this to give presentations for projective S-unit groups of the Hurwitz order in Hamilton’s quaternions over the rational field...
