Cramer’s rule over quaternions and split quaternions: A unified algebraic approach in quaternionic and split quaternionic mechanics

Abstract

This paper aims to present, in a unified manner, Cramer’s rule which are valid on both the algebras of quaternions and split quaternions. This paper, introduces a concept of v-quaternion, studies Cramer’s rule for the system of v-quaternionic linear equations by means of a complex matrix representation of v-quaternion matrices, and gives an algebraic technique for solving the system of v-quaternionic linear equations. This paper also gives a unification of algebraic techniques for Cramer’s rule in quaternionic and split quaternionic mechanics.
