Abstract

This paper aims to present, in a unified manner, the algebraic techniques of eigen-problem which are valid on both the quaternions and split quaternions. This paper studies eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the v-quaternion matrices by means of the complex representation of the v-quaternion matrices, and derives an algebraic technique to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of v-quaternion matrices. This paper also gives a unification of algebraic techniques for eigenvalues and eigenvectors in quaternionic and split quaternionic mechanics.

Summary

Introduction

Denote the sets of quaternions and split quaternions by H and Hs , respectively In [10], the author studied the problems of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of quaternion matrices by means of complex representation and companion vector. In [12], by means of complex representation of a split quaternion matrix, the authors studied the problems of right split quaternion eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a split quaternion matrix. We study the problem of right eigenvalues and associated right eigenvectors of the v-quaternion matrix.
