%0 Journal Article %T A Unified Algebraic Technique for Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors in Quaternionic and Split Quaternionic Mechanics %A Zhenwei Guo %A Gang Wang %A Dong Zhang %A Tongsong Jiang %J Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics %P 1929-1940 %@ 2327-4379 %D 2019 %I Scientific Research Publishing %R 10.4236/jamp.2019.79133 %X This paper aims to present, in a unified manner, the algebraic techniques of eigen-problem which are valid on both the quaternions and split quaternions. This paper studies eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the v-quaternion matrices by means of the complex representation of the v-quaternion matrices, and derives an algebraic technique to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of v-quaternion matrices. This paper also gives a unification of algebraic techniques for eigenvalues and eigenvectors in quaternionic and split quaternionic mechanics. %K v-Quaternion %K Complex Representation %K Quaternion %K Split Quaternion %K Eigenvalues %K Eigenvectors %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=94710
