Algebraic Techniques for Canonical Forms and Applications in Split Quaternionic Mechanics

Abstract

The algebra of split quaternions is a recently increasing topic in the study of theory and numerical computation in split quaternionic mechanics. This paper, by means of a real representation of a split quaternion matrix, studies the problem of canonical forms of a split quaternion matrix and derives algebraic techniques for finding the canonical forms of a split quaternion matrix. This paper also gives two applications for the right eigenvalue and diagonalization in split quaternionic mechanics.
