Quaternionic eigenvalue problem


Abstract in English

We discuss the (right) eigenvalue equation for $mathbb{H}$, $mathbb{C}$ and $mathbb{R}$ linear quaternionic operators. The possibility to introduce an isomorphism between these operators and real/complex matrices allows to translate the quaternionic problem into an {em equivalent} real or complex counterpart. Interesting applications are found in solving differential equations within quaternionic formulations of quantum mechanics.
