Abstract
In this paper, we focus on the quaternion equality constrained weighted least squares problem. First, according to the properties of the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse matrix, the singular value decomposition, the CS decomposition, and the real representation matrices of quaternion matrices, we obtain a real unconstrained equivalent problem of the quaternion equality constrained weighted least squares problem. And then we give the expressions of its general solution and minimal norm solution. Finally, according to the properties of the real representation matrices of quaternion matrices, the special structure of real representation matrices and the real structure-preserving singular value decomposition of quaternion matrix, we propose a real structure-preserving algorithm for the minimal norm solution of the quaternion equality constrained weighted least squares problem, and illustrate the effectiveness of proposed algorithm by a numerical example.
