Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, quaternion matrix decomposition theory, quaternion matrix eigenvalue theory, special solutions (Hermitian, generalized Hermitian, positive definite, real part symmetric) to quaternion matrix equation or systems, to name but a few examples, have been active areas of research. In color image processing, we can encode the red, green, and blue channel pixel values on the three imaginary parts of a quaternion so that certain properties can be retained as much as possible. As a result, the quaternion matrix model can be widely used in image compression, denoising, and restoration, among numerous other applications. The real matrix representation of a quaternion matrix with generalized symmetric structure plays an important role in quaternion matrix computation.

The goal of this Special Issue is to attract original research papers on the models, theory, algorithms, and applications associated with quaternion matrices. These applications include computer vision, image and video processing, graph and network analysis, and other data-driven applications.

We consider when the quaternion matrix equation AXB+CXD=E has a reflexive (or anti-reflexive) solution with respect to a given generalized reflection matrix. We adopt a real representation method to derive the solutions when it is solvable. Moreover, we obtain the explicit expressions of the least-squares reflexive (or anti-reflexive) solutions.

In this paper, we use semi-tensor product of quaternion matrices, L-representation of quaternion matrices, and GH-representation of special quaternion matrices such as quaternion (anti)-centrosymmetric matrices to solve the special solutions of quaternion matrix equation. Based on semi-tensor product of quaternion matrices and the structure matrix of the multiplication of quaternion, we propose the vector representation operation conclusion of quaternion matrices, and study the different matrix representations of quaternion matrices. Then the problem of the quaternion matrix equation is transformed into the corresponding problem in the real number fields by using vector representation and L-representation of quaternion matrices, combined with the special structure of (anti)-centrosymmetric matrices, the independent elements are extracted by GH-representation method, so as to reduce the number of variables to be calculated and improve the calculation accuracy. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified by numerical examples, and the time comparison with the two existing algorithms is carried out. The algorithm in this paper is also applied in a centrosymmetric color digital image restoration model. Full article

In the present paper, an iterative algorithm is proposed for solving the generalized (P,Q)-reflexive solution group of a system of quaternion matrix equations ∑l=1M(AlsXlBls+ClsXl˜Dls)=Fs,s=1,2,…,N. A generalized (P,Q)-reflexive solution group, as well as the least Frobenius norm generalized (P,Q)-reflexive solution group, can be derived by choosing appropriate initial matrices, respectively. Moreover, the optimal approximate generalized (P,Q)-reflexive solution group to a given matrix group can be derived by computing the least Frobenius norm generalized (P,Q)-reflexive solution group of a reestablished system of matrix equations. Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the algorithm. Full article

The current study investigates the solvability conditions and the general solution of three symmetrical systems of coupled Sylvester-like quaternion matrix equations. Accordingly, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the consistency of these systems are determined, and the general solutions of the systems are thereby deduced. An algorithm and a numerical example are constructed over the quaternions to validate the results of this paper. Full article
