On solutions of singular Sylvester equations in quaternions

Rings and Algebras 2026-05-08 v6

Abstract

The quaternionic equations ax-xb=0 and ax-xb=c are investigated, which are called homogeneous and inhomogeneous Sylvester equations, respectively. Conditions for the existence of solutions are provided. In addition, the general and nonzero solutions to these equations are derived applying quaternion square roots.
