Euclidean distance matrices (EDM) are matrices of squared distances between points. The definition is deceivingly simple: thanks to their many useful properties they have found applications in psychometrics, crystallography, machine…

We take matrix decompositions that are usually applied to matrices over the real numbers or complex numbers, and extend them to matrices over an algebra called the double numbers. In doing so, we unify some matrix decompositions: For…
