In this paper we consider space-time codes where the code-words are restricted to either real or quaternion matrices. We prove two separate diversity-multiplexing gain trade-off (DMT) upper bounds for such codes and provide a criterion for a lattice code to achieve these upper bounds. We also point out that lattice codes based on Q-central division algebras satisfy this optimality criterion. As...

let $cr_{n}(f)$ denote the algebra of $n times n$ circulant matrices over the field $f$. in this paper, we study the unit group of $cr_{n}(f_{p^m})$, where $f_{p^m}$ denotes the galois field of order $p^{m}$, $p$ prime.

For scenarios of coherent underwater sources at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a novel quaternion-based DOA algorithm without eigendecomposition is proposed using linear vector-hydrophone array. We construct four quaternion models by judiciously arranging the received data to fully utilize statistical information incident signals. To avoid high computational complexity caused eigenvalue decom...

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...

We consider the class of algebras of rank 4 equipped with a standard involution over an arbitrary base ring. In particular, we characterize quaternion rings, those algebras defined by the construction of the even Clifford algebra. A quaternion algebra is a central simple algebra of dimension 4 over a field F . Generalizations of the notion of quaternion algebra to other commutative base rings R...

The traditional methods for representing forward kinematics of manipulators have been the homogeneous matrix in line with the D-H algorithm. In this paper a new method known as quaternion algebra is described and it is used for three dimensional representation and orientation in robot kinematics. This method is compared with homogeneous transform in terms of easiness of representation, computat...

we survey some recent results on cocharacters of upper triangular matrices. in particular, we deal both with ordinary and graded cocharacter sequence; we list the principal combinatorial results; we show di erent tech-niques in order to solve similar problems.

A method of reducing general quaternion functions of first degree, i.e., linear quaternion functions, to quaternary canonical form is given. Linear quaternion functions, once reduced to canonical form, can be maintained in this form under functional composition. Furthermore, the composition operation is symbolically identical to quaternion multiplication, making manipulation and reduction of sy...
