Investigating generalized quaternions with dual-generalized complex numbers

Generalized Quaternions

The quaternion group Q8 is one of the two non-abelian groups of size 8 (up to isomorphism). The other one, D4, can be constructed as a semi-direct product: D4 ∼= Aff(Z/(4)) ∼= Z/(4) o (Z/(4))× ∼= Z/(4) o Z/(2), where the elements of Z/(2) act on Z/(4) as the identity and negation. While Q8 is not a semi-direct product, it can be constructed as the quotient group of a semi-direct product. We wil...

On generalized fuzzy numbers

This paper first improves Chen and Hsieh’s definition of generalized fuzzy numbers, which makes it the generalization of definition of fuzzy numbers. Secondly, in terms of the generalized fuzzy numbers set, we introduce two different kinds of orders and arithmetic operations and metrics based on the λ-cutting sets or generalized λ-cutting sets, so that the generalized fuzzy numbers are integrat...

Generalized quaternions and spacetime symmetriesa)

The construction of a class of associative composition algebras qn on R 4 generalizing the wellknown quaternions Q provides an explicit representation of the universal enveloping algebra of the real three-dimensional Lie algebras having tracefree adjoint representations (class A Bianchi type Lie algebras). The identity components of the four-dimensional Lie groups GL(qn,l) Cqn (general linear g...

Stirling Numbers and Generalized Zagreb Indices

We show how generalized Zagreb indices $M_1^k(G)$ can be computed by using a simple graph polynomial and Stirling numbers of the second kind. In that way we explain and clarify the meaning of a triangle of numbers used to establish the same result in an earlier reference.
