Commutative quaternion matrices

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this study, we introduce the concept of commutative quaternions and commutative quaternion matrices. Firstly, we give some properties of commutative quaternions and their Hamilton matrices. After that we investigate commutative quaternion matrices using properties of complex matrices. Then we define the complex adjoint matrix of commutative quaternion matrices and give some of their properties.


Matrices whose entries are quaternions are investigated. Since the entries are noncommutative, there exists an obstacle in the construction of multiplication of quaternion matrices and in the proofs of analogs of standard properties of matrix multiplication. The main result of the present paper is the following. A complex adjoint matrix of a quaternion matrix is defined. Using it, a determinant of a quaternion matrix is introduced.
