The (anti-) η -Hermitian solution to a novel system of matrix equations
over the split quaternion algebra1
Abstract
In comparison to quaternions, split quaternions exhibit a more intricate
algebraic structure, characterized by the presence of nontrivial zero
factors. Furthermore, in various fields such as geometry and
electromagnetism, split quaternions serve as more convenient research
tools than quaternions. This paper aims to establish the necessary and
sufficient conditions for the existence of (anti-) η-Hermitian
solutions to a novel system of matrix equations formulated over split
quaternions. We also provide the general expression of such solutions
when the system is solvable, along with the least squares (anti-)
η-Hermitian solution in the case of inconsistency. To illustrate
the key findings of this paper, numerical examples are presented.
