In this article, we define the set H of quaternion numbers as the set of all ordered sequences q = 〈x, y,w, z〉 where x,y,w and z are real numbers. The addition, difference and multiplication of the quaternion numbers are also defined. We define the real and imaginary parts of q and denote this by x = R(q), y = I1(q), w = I2(q), z = I3(q). We define the addition, difference, multiplication again...

Color images can be treated as two-dimensional quaternion functions. For analysis of quaternion images, a joint space-wavenumber localized quaternion S transform (QS) is presented in this study for a simultaneous determination of the local color image spectra. The QS transform uses a two-dimensional Gaussian localizing window that scales with wavenumbers. Rotation invariance, invertibility and ...

The general linear quaternion function of degree one is a sum of terms with quaternion coefficients on the left and right. The paper considers the canonic form of such a function, and builds on the recent work of Todd Ell, who has shown that any such function may be represented using at most four quaternion coefficients. In this paper, a new and simple method is presented for obtaining these co...

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...

A new quaternion based method is presented which recovers albedo for shape reconstruction from three color images for three directions of white light source. In the conventional approaches, red, green and blue components are considered separately so there is a loss of information. The albedo maps recovered are not accurate enough to recover shape. Property of quaternion is that a color can then...

Hamiltonian matrices with respect to a nondegenerate skewsymmetric or skewhermitian indefinite inner product in finite dimensional real, complex, or quaternion vector spaces are studied. Subspaces that are simultaneously invariant for the matrices and neutral in the indefinite inner product are of special interest. The dimension of maximal (by inclusion) such subspaces is identified in terms of...

The main aim of this paper is to study quaternion matrix factorization for low-rank completion and its applications in color image processing. For the real-world images, we proposed a novel model called (LRQC), which adds total variation Tikhonov regularization factor matrices preserve spatial/temporal smoothness. Moreover, proximal alternating minimization (PAM) algorithm was tackle correspond...

We enumerate all one class genera of definite ternary quadratic forms over number fields. For this, we construct all Gorenstein orders of type number one in definite quaternion algebras over number fields. Finally, we list all definite quaternion orders of ideal class number one.

We enumerate all positive definite ternary quadratic forms over number fields with class number at most 2. This is done by constructing all definite quaternion orders of type number at most 2 over number fields. Finally, we list all definite quaternion orders of ideal class number 1 or 2.

While in general there is no one-to-one correspondence between complex and quaternion quantum mechanics (QQM), there exists at least one version of QQM in which a partial set of translations may be made. We define these translations and use the rules to obtain rapid quaternion counterparts (some of which are new) of standard quantum mechanical results.
