In this paper, a series of bicomplex representation methods of quaternion division algebra is introduced. We present a new multiplication concept of quaternion matrices, a new determinant concept, a new inverse concept of quaternion matrix and a new similar matrix concept. Under the new concept system, many quaternion algebra problems can be transformed into complex algebra problems to express ...

In this paper, we present quaternion matrix algebra techniques that can be used to process the eigen analysis of a color image. Applications of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in image processing are numerous, and the proposed tools aim to give material for color image processing, that take into account their particular nature. For this purpose, we use the quaternion model for color images a...

The research is Supported by Chongqing University postgraduates’ Science and Innovation Fund (200801A 1 A0070266). Abstract The purpose of this paper is to discuss the inequalities for the trace of self-conjugate quaternion matrix. We present the inequality for eigenvalues and trace of self-conjugate quaternion matrices. Based on the inequality above, we obtain several inequalities for the trac...

ABSTRACT : Quaternion Dirac equation has been obtained from the square root of Klein-Gordon equation in compact and consistent way. Dirac matrices are described as quaternion valued and the Dirac Hamiltonian is considered as Hermitian with real eigenvalues of energy. Dirac spinors and free particle energy solution has been obtained in terms of one component, two-component and four-component Dir...

This paper presents an algorithm to average a set of quaternion observations. The average quaternion is determined by minimizing the weighted sum of the squared Frobenius norms of the corresponding attitude matrix differences, subject to the unit-norm constraint in the determined solution. Two cases are presented: one that incorporates scalar weights and one that incorporates general weights on...

The extreme ranks, i.e., the maximal and minimal ranks, are established for the general Hermitian solution as well as the general skew-Hermitian solution to the classical matrix equation AXA +BY B = C over the quaternion algebra. Also given in this paper are the formulas of extreme ranks of real matrices Xi, Yi, i = 1, · · · , 4, in a pair (skew-)Hermitian solution X = X1 + X2i + X3j + X4k, Y =...

I suggest wave equations for the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and pseudovector fields with different masses for spin zero and one states. Tensor, matrix, and quaternion formulations of fields with two mass and spin states are considered. This is the generalization of the DiracKähler equation on the case of different masses of fields with spin one and zero. The equation matrices obtained are si...
