In addition to the diagonalization of a normal matrix by a unitary similarity transformation, there are two other types of diagonalization procedures that sometimes arise in quantum theory applications — the singular value decomposition and the Autonne–Takagi factorization. In this pedagogical review, each of these diagonalization procedures is performed for the most general [Formula: see text] matrices for which the corresponding diagonalization is possible, and explicit analytical results are provided in each of the three cases.

Matrices with real quaternion elements have been dealt with in earlier papers by Wolf (10) and Lee (4). In the former, an elementary divisor theory was developed for such matrices by using an isomorphism between n×n real quaternion matrices and 2n×2n matrices with complex elements. In the latter, further results were obtained (including, mainly, the transforming of a quaternion matrix into a triangular form under a unitary similarity transformation) by using a different isomorphism.
