Abstract
In this study, we obtain the scalar and matrix exponential functions through a series of quaternion-valued functions on time scales. A sufficient and necessary condition is established to guarantee that the induced matrix is real-valued for the complex adjoint matrix of a quaternion matrix. Moreover, the Cauchy matrices and Liouville formulas for the quaternion homogeneous and nonhomogeneous impulsive dynamic equations are given and proved. Based on it, the existence, uniqueness, and expressions of their solutions are also obtained, including their scalar and matrix forms. Since the quaternion algebra is noncommutative, many concepts and properties of the non-quaternion impulsive dynamic equations are ineffective, we provide several examples and counterexamples on various time scales to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
