Quaternions have an (over a century-old) extensive and quite complicated interaction with special relativity. Since quaternions are intrinsically 4-dimensional, and do such a good job of handling 3-dimensional rotations, the hope has always…
Dual quaternion algebra and its application to robotics have gained considerable interest in the last two decades. Dual quaternions have great geometric appeal and easily capture physical phenomena inside an algebraic framework that is…
Motivated by a model in quantum computation we study orthogonal sets of integral vectors of the same norm that can be extended with new vectors keeping the norm and the orthogonality. Our approach involves some arithmetic properties of the…
Rigid body dynamics on the rotation group have typically been represented in terms of rotation matrices, unit quaternions, or local coordinates, such as Euler angles. Due to the coordinate singularities associated with local coordinate…

We present a novel approach for solving articulated inverse kinematic problems (e.g., character structures) by means of an iterative dual-quaternion and exponentialmapping approach. As dual-quaternions are a break from the norm and offer a…
The roots of -1 in the set of biquaternions (quaternions with complex components, or complex numbers with quaternion real and imaginary parts) are studied and it is shown that there is an infinite number of non-trivial complexified…
In the algebra of complex quaternions $\mathbb{H(C)}$ we consider for the first time left- and right-$\psi$-hyperholomorphic functions. We justify the transition in left- and right-$\psi$-hyperholomorphic functions to a simpler basis i.e.…
As is well-known, the real quaternion division algebra $ {\cal H}$ is algebraically isomorphic to a 4-by-4 real matrix algebra. But the real division octonion algebra ${\cal O}$ can not be algebraically isomorphic to any matrix algebras…
It is known that the groups of Euclidean rotations in dimension 3 (isometries of $S^2$), general Lorentz transformations in dimension 4 (Hyperbolic isometries in dimension 3), and screw motions in dimension 3 can be represented by the…
In this paper, we provide some careful analysis of certain pathological behavior of Euler angles and unit quaternions encountered in previous works related to rotation representation in neural networks. In particular, we show that for…
The paper aims to apply the complex-sedenions to explore the field equations of four fundamental interactions, which are relevant to the classical mechanics and quantum mechanics, in the curved spaces. J. C. Maxwell was the first to utilize…
The quaternions form a 4-dimensional Cayley-Dickson algebra. In this paper, we introduce the Tetranacci and Tetranacci-Lucas quaternions. Furthermore, we present some properties of these quaternions and derive relationships between them.
The concept of number and its generalization has played a central role in the development of mathematics over many centuries and many civilizations. Noteworthy milestones in this long and arduous process were the developments of the real…
Quaternion (Q-) mathematics formally contains many fragments of physical laws; in particular, the Hamiltonian for the Pauli equation automatically emerges in a space with Q-metric. The eigenfunction method shows that any Q-unit has an…
Multidimensional quaternion arrays (often referred to as "quaternion tensors") and their decompositions have recently gained increasing attention in various fields such as color and polarimetric imaging or video processing. Despite this…

Due to the non-commutative nature of quaternions we introduce the concept of left and right action for quaternionic numbers. This gives the opportunity to manipulate appropriately the $H$-field. The standard problems arising in the…
We consider different generalizations of the Euler formula and discuss the properties of the associated trigonometric functions. The problem is analyzed from different points of view and it is shown that it can be formulated in a natural…
