On Some Combinatorial Properties of Balancing Split Quaternions

Abstract

Quaternions and split quaternions are used in quantum physics, computer science, and in many areas of mathematics. In this paper, we define and study two new classes of split quaternions, namely balancing split quaternions and Lucas-balancing split quaternions. Moreover, well-known properties, e.g., Catalan, d’Ocagne, and Vajda identities, for these quaternions are also presented. We give matrix generators for balancing split quaternions and Lucas-balancing split quaternions, too.
