Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group, and let $\widehat{G}$ denote its dual group, equipped with a Haar measure. A variant of the uncertainty principle states that for any $S \subset G$ and $\Sigma \subset \widehat{G}$, there exists a…

In this paper, we mainly establish the uncertainty principle (UP) for a function and its quaternion Fractional Fourier transform (QFrFT), as well as the UP for two QFrFTs. Using the polar representation of quaternion-valued signals, we give…
