In this paper, we consider Hermitian and skew-Hermitian solutions to a certain matrix equation over quaternion algebra H. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the quaternion matrix equation to have Hermitian and skew-Hermitian solutions, and the expressions of such solutions are also given. As an application, the common skew-Hermitian g-inverse of quaternion matrix A and B is considered.

In this paper, for a consistent quaternion matrix equation AXB = C, the formulas are established for maximal and minimal ranks of real matrices X1, X2, X3, X4 in solution X = X1 + X2i + X3j + X4k. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of a real solution of the quaternion matrix equation. The expression is also presented for the general solution to this equation when the solvability conditions are satisfied. Moreover, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for this matrix equation to have a complex solution or a pure imaginary solution. As applications, the maximal and minimal ranks of real matrices E, F, G, H in a generalized inverse (A +Bi + Cj + Dk)- = E + Fi + Gj + Hk of a quaternion matrix A + Bi + Cj + Dk are also considered. In addition, a necessary and sufficient condition is derived for the quaternion matrix equations A1XB1 = C1 and A2XB2 = C2 to have a common real solution.

For a quaternion matrix A, we denote by Aϕ the matrix obtained by applying ϕ entrywise to the transposed matrix AT, where ϕ is a nonstandard involution of quaternions. A is said to be ϕ-Hermitian or ϕ-skew-Hermitian if A=Aϕ or A=−Aϕ, respectively. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of the nonstandard involutions ϕ of quaternions and their conjugacy properties; then we establish a new real representation of a quaternion matrix. Based on this, we derive some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a ϕ-Hermitian solution or ϕ-skew-Hermitian solution to the quaternion matrix equation AX=B. Moreover, we give solutions of the quaternion equation when it is solvable.

We in this paper give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the general solution to the system of matrix equations [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] over the quaternion algebra ℍ, and present an expression of the general solution to this system when it is solvable. Using the results, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the system of matrix equations [Formula: see text] over ℍ to have a reducible solution as well as the representation of such solution to the system when the consistency conditions are met. A numerical example is also given to illustrate our results. As another application, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for two associated electronic networks to have the same branch current and branch voltage and give the expressions of the same branch current and branch voltage when the conditions are satisfied.

Let H be the real quaternion algebra and Hmxn denote the set of all m x n matrices over H. For A ? Hm x n, we denote by A? the n x m matrix obtained by applying ? entrywise to the transposed matrix At, where ? is a nonstandard involution of H. A ? Hnxn is said to be ?-Hermitian if A = A?. In this paper, we construct a simultaneous decomposition of four real quaternion matrices with the same row number (A,B,C,D), where A is ?-Hermitian, and B,C,D are general matrices. Using this simultaneous matrix decomposition, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to some real quaternion matrix equations involving ?-Hermicity in terms of ranks of the given real quaternion matrices. We also present the general solutions to these real quaternion matrix equations when they are solvable. Finally some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results of this paper.
