Matrix Representation on Quaternion Algebra

Abstract

The quaternions, denoted by H, were first defined by W.R. Hamilton in 1843 as an extension of the four dimensions complex numbers. Hamilton has included a new multiplication process to vector algebra by defining quaternions for two vectors where the division process is available. In this paper, basic operations on H/Zp quaternion and the matrix form which belong to H/Zp quaternion algebra are given

Keywords
