We explain the orthogonal planes split (OPS) of quaternions based on the arbitrary choice of one or two linearly independent pure unit quaternions f ,g. Next we systematically generalize the quaternionic Fourier transform (QFT) applied to quaternion fields to conform with the OPS determined by f ,g, or by only one pure unit quaternion f , comment on their geometric meaning, and establish invers...

We present in this paper some fundamental tools for developing matrix analysis over the complex quaternion algebra. As applications, we consider generalized inverses, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, similarity, determinants of complex quaternion matrices, and so on.

Constructions of quaternion and octonion algebras, suggested to have new level and sublevel values, are proposed and justified. In particular, octonion algebras of level and sublevel 6 and 7 are constructed. In addition, Hoffmann’s proof of the existence of infinitely many new values for the level of a quaternion algebra is generalised and adapted.

Quaternion matrices are employed successfully in many color image processing applications. In particular, a pure quaternion matrix can be used to represent red, green, and blue channels of images. A low-rank approximation for obtained by using the singular value decomposition. However, this is not optimal sense that resulting may quaternion, i.e., contains real component which useful representa...

New definitions of determinant functionals over the quaternion skew field are given in this paper. The inverse matrix over the quaternion skew field is represented by analogues of the classical adjoint matrix. Cramer rule for right and left quaternionic systems of linear equations have been obtained.

In this paper we propose a fast structure-preserving algorithm for computing the singular value decomposition of quaternion matrices. The algorithm is based on the structurepreserving bidiagonalization of the real counterpart for quaternion matrices by applying orthogonal JRS-symplectic matrices. The algorithm is efficient and numerically stable. 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we present a novel concept of the quaternion discrete Fourier transform on the two-dimensional hexagonal lattice, which we call the twodimensional hexagonal quaternion discrete Fourier transform (2-D HQDFT). The concept of the right-side 2D HQDFT is described and the left-side 2-D HQDFT is similarly con sidered. We analyze and present a new approach in processing the color images...

A filter for estimating spacecraft attitude quaternion and gyro drift from vector measurements in the presence of white noises in the gyro error, in the drift dynamics, and in the line-of-sight measurement error is developed. The variance parameters of the white noises are unknown, and are modeled as non-anticipative second order stochastic processes. The approach taken in this work consists in...
