On balancing quaternions and Lucas-balancing quaternions

On the Properties of Balancing and Lucas-Balancing $p$-Numbers

The main goal of this paper is to develop a new generalization of balancing and Lucas-balancing sequences namely balancing and Lucas-balancing $p$-numbers and derive several identities related to them. Some combinatorial forms of these numbers are also presented.

On Pell, Pell-Lucas, and balancing numbers

In this paper, we derive some identities on Pell, Pell-Lucas, and balancing numbers and the relationships between them. We also deduce some formulas on the sums, divisibility properties, perfect squares, Pythagorean triples involving these numbers. Moreover, we obtain the set of positive integer solutions of some specific Pell equations in terms of the integer sequences mentioned in the text.

ON QUATERNIONS By

Understanding quaternions

The invention of the calculus of quaternions is a step towards the knowledge of quantities related to space which can only be compared for its importance with the invention of triple coordinates by Descartes. The ideas of this calculus, as distinguished from its operations and symbols, are fitted to be of the greatest use in all parts of science.-Clerk Maxwell, 1869. Quaternions came from Hamil...

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...
