Polynomials and Vandermonde matrices over the field of quaternions.
Our aim is to classify and compute zeros of the quadratic two sided matrix polynomials, i.e. quadratic polynomials whose matrix coefficients are located at both sides of the powers of the matrix variable. We suppose that there are no multiple terms of the same degree in the polynomial , i.e., the terms have the form , where all quantities are square matrices of the same size. Both for classification and computation, the essential tool is the description of the polynomial by a matrix equation...
We will study applications of numerical methods in Clifford algebras in , in particular in the skew field of quaternions, in the algebra of coquaternions and in the other nondivision algebras in . In order to gain insight into the multidimensional case, we first consider linear equations in quaternions and coquaternions. Then we will search for zeros of one-sided (simple) quaternion polynomials. Three different classes of zeros can be distinguished. In general, the quaternionic coefficients can...
