Solving quadratic equations over finite fields is a fundamental task in algebraic coding theory and serves as a key subroutine for computing the roots of cubic and quartic polynomials. Notably, any quadratic polynomial over binary extension…
In this paper we find a Clifford algebra associated to generalized Fibonacci quaternions. In this way, we provide a nice algorithm to obtain a division quaternion algebra starting from a quaternion non-division algebra and vice-versa.
A comprehensive analysis of the morphology of the solution space for a special type of quadratic quaternion equation is presented. This equation, which arises in a surface construction problem, incorporates linear terms in a quaternion…
It appears that, along with many of my friends and colleagues, I had been brainwashed by the great and tragic lives of Abel and Galois to believe that no general formulas are possible for roots of equations higher than quartic. This seemed…
This paper derives numerical bounds for and implements the splitting circle method for finding roots of a univariate polynomial in the presence of fixed precision.
According to the Abel-Ruffini theorem [1] and Galois theory [2], there is no solution in finite radicals to the general quintic equation. This article takes a different approach and proposes a new method to solve the quintic by iteration of…
In this paper, we present some applications of quaternions and octonions. We present the real matrix representations for complex octonions and some of their properties which can be used in computations where these elements are involved.…
In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of locating the zeros of polynomials of a quaternionic variable with quaternionic coefficients. We derive some new Cauchy bounds for the zeros of a polynomial by virtue of maximum modulus…
A commutative order in a quaternion algebra is called selective if it is embeds into some, but not all, the maximal orders in the algebra. It is known that a given quadratic order over a number field can be selective in at most one…
Let $R$ be a ring with ${\bf 1}$ which is not commutative. Assume that a non-zero commutator in $R$ is not a zero divisor. Assume further that either $R$ is alternative, but not associative, or $R$ is associative and any commutator $v\in R$…
The quaternion equation X^n=A is solved for any integer number n > 1. A is a given quaternion with komplex numbers as its elements. We use the isomorphism between quaternions and (4,4)-matrices to solve this equation.
Quaternions, introduced by Hamilton in 1843 as a generalization of complex numbers, have found, in more recent years, a wealth of applications in a number of different areas which motivated the design of efficient methods for numerically…
It is known that Clifford (geometric) algebra offers a geometric interpretation for square roots of -1 in the form of blades that square to minus 1. This extends to a geometric interpretation of quaternions as the side face bivectors of a…
This short article presents explicit expressions for roots of a quartic equation that has all four real roots. Although a general expression for quartic roots is available on Wikipedia, an optimized and slightly shorter expression for only…
The use of complexified quaternions and $i$-complex geometry in formulating the Dirac equation allows us to give interesting geometric interpretations hidden in the conventional matrix-based approach.
We study the vanishing sets of slice regular polynomials in several quaternionic variables. We obtain a geometric description of the vanishing sets in two variables, which leads to a new version of the Strong Hilbert Nullstellensatz in the…
In this paper we present a solution for any standard quaternion quadratic equation, i.e. an equation of the form $z^2+\mu z+\nu=0$ where $\mu$ and $\nu$ belong to some quaternion division algebra $Q$ over some field $F$, assuming the…
To allow for Division By Zero, we develop a new algebraic structure containing addition and multiplication called an S-Extension of a Field. This unique structure extends a Field so that the equation $0\cdot s=x$ has exactly one solution…
We establish many previously unknown properties of zero-divisors in Cayley-Dickson algebras. The basic approach is to use a certain splitting that simplifies computations surprisingly.
We study algebras $A,$ over a field of characteristic zero, satisfying $(x^p, x^q, x^r)=0$ for $p, q, r$ in ${1, 2}.$ The existence of a unit element in such algebras leads to the third power-associativity. If, in addition, $A$ has degree…
