Some New Properties of The Real Quaternion Matrices and Matlab Applications
Abstract
In this study, firstly, it was shown that the set of real quaternion
matrices is a -dimensional module over the real matrix ring and -dimensional module over the complex matrix ring . Moreover, some new properties of the real quaternion
matrices were described. Then, matrix representations of the real quaternion
matrices were found easily by Matlab. These matrices were also applied to find
the inverse of the real quaternion matrices and inverse matrices were obtained
easily with these matrices. In addition, some new properties for matrix
representations of the real quaternion matrices were found. Also, the inverse
of the real quaternion block
matrices was obtained by new methods. Finally, a new method to calculate the
determinant of the real quaternion
matrices was found and the determinant of these matrices was calculated easily
with Matlab application.
