Abstract

In the theoretical explorations and numerical computations of split quaternionic mechanics, a common and extremely effective tool for the study of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory is the split quaternion equality constrained least squares (LSESQ) problem. This paper for the first time studies the generalized singular value decomposition of split quaternion matrices (GSVDSQ) based on the \(2\times 2\) isomorphic representation of split quaternion matrices and obtains a GSVDSQ theorem. In addition, this paper proves the necessary and sufficient conditions for the LSESQ problem to have solutions and gives an efficient method for solving the LSESQ problem. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
