This book was released on 2007-06-25 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of Clifford algebras in mathematical physics and engineering has grown rapidly in recent years. Whereas other developments have privileged a geometric approach, this book uses an algebraic approach that can be introduced as a tensor product of quaternion algebras and provides a unified calculus for much of physics. It proposes a pedagogical introduction to this new calculus, based on quaternions, with applications mainly in special relativity, classical electromagnetism, and general relativity.

Download or read book Quaternion and Clifford Fourier Transforms written by Eckhard Hitzer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quaternion and Clifford Fourier Transforms describes the development of quaternion and Clifford Fourier transforms in Clifford (geometric) algebra over the last 30 years. It is the first comprehensive, self-contained book covering this vibrant new area of pure and applied mathematics in depth. The book begins with a historic overview, followed by chapters on Clifford and quaternion algebra and geometric (vector) differential calculus (part of Clifford analysis). The core of the book consists of one chapter on quaternion Fourier transforms and one on Clifford Fourier transforms. These core chapters and their sections on more special topics are reasonably self-contained, so that readers already somewhat familiar with quaternions and Clifford algebra will hopefully be able to begin reading directly in the chapter and section of their particular interest, without frequently needing to skip back and forth. The topics covered are of fundamental interest to pure and applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers (signal and color image processing, electrical engineering, computer science, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, geographic information science, aero-space engineering, navigation, etc.). Features Intuitive real geometric approach to higher-dimensional Fourier transformations A comprehensive reference, suitable for graduate students and researchers Includes detailed definitions, properties, and many full step-by-step proofs Many figures and tables, a comprehensive biography, and a detailed index make it easy to locate information

Download or read book Quaternion and Clifford Fourier Transforms and Wavelets written by Eckhard Hitzer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-24 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quaternion and Clifford Fourier and wavelet transformations generalize the classical theory to higher dimensions and are becoming increasingly important in diverse areas of mathematics, physics, computer science and engineering. This edited volume presents the state of the art in these hypercomplex transformations. The Clifford algebras unify Hamilton’s quaternions with Grassmann algebra. A Clifford algebra is a complete algebra of a vector space and all its subspaces including the measurement of volumes and dihedral angles between any pair of subspaces. Quaternion and Clifford algebras permit the systematic generalization of many known concepts. This book provides comprehensive insights into current developments and applications including their performance and evaluation. Mathematically, it indicates where further investigation is required. For instance, attention is drawn to the matrix isomorphisms for hypercomplex algebras, which will help readers to see that software implementations are within our grasp. It also contributes to a growing unification of ideas and notation across the expanding field of hypercomplex transforms and wavelets. The first chapter provides a historical background and an overview of the relevant literature, and shows how the contributions that follow relate to each other and to prior work. The book will be a valuable resource for graduate students as well as for scientists and engineers.

Download or read book Clifford Algebra in Mathematics and Physics written by Stefano Spezia and published by Arcler Press. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clifford or geometric algebra (GA) is an algebra generated by a vector space with a bilinear form with some special properties. GA is more efficient than the matrix algebra because of the fact that the components of geometric algebra can be expressed without introducing any arbitrary basis and turned out to be a superior mathematical tool which provides a common mathematical language that aids a unified approach and understanding in topics across mathematics, physics and engineering. For example, complex variables, vectors, quaternions, matrix theory, differential forms, tensor calculus, spinors and twistors, are all subsumed under a common approach.The book begins with a brief historical introduction, followed by a description of the mathematical formalism of Clifford algebra. In particular, definitions, axiom and examples applied to two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces have been presented. Section 1 gives an overview of the application of GA in Physics, focusing on geometric algebra pictures of both the plane wave solution of the Maxwell equation and special relativity, a toy model of SU(3) symmetry, and some preliminary thoughts about a possible geometric meaning of quantum mechanics. In particular, it is cleared that the internal spin structure of the particle is hidden in both Schrödinger and Dirac equations showing that the classical mechanics combined with zero-point field leads to quantum mechanics. Section 2 discusses the problem of quantization in quantum theory, a natural algebraic alternative definition of time, a coordinate-free formulation of General Relativity, a more unified and systematic description of flux compactifications and of supergravity and string compactifications in general. Finally, the last Section 3 begins with the study of the association of a quaternion algebra to the set of generalized Fibonacci quaternions by using the construction of Clifford algebras and concludes with the study of an important branch of modern analysis: The Clifford analysis.

Download or read book Real Quaternionic Calculus Handbook written by João Pedro Morais and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real quaternion analysis is a multi-faceted subject. Created to describe phenomena in special relativity, electrodynamics, spin etc., it has developed into a body of material that interacts with many branches of mathematics, such as complex analysis, harmonic analysis, differential geometry, and differential equations. It is also a ubiquitous factor in the description and elucidation of problems in mathematical physics. In the meantime real quaternion analysis has become a well established branch in mathematics and has been greatly successful in many different directions. This book is based on concrete examples and exercises rather than general theorems, thus making it suitable for an introductory one- or two-semester undergraduate course on some of the major aspects of real quaternion analysis in exercises. Alternatively, it may be used for beginning graduate level courses and as a reference work. With exercises at the end of each chapter and its straightforward writing style the book addresses readers who have no prior knowledge on this subject but have a basic background in graduate mathematics courses, such as real and complex analysis, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and theory of distributions.

Download or read book Clifford Analysis and Related Topics written by Paula Cerejeiras and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, intended to commemorate the work of Paul Dirac, highlights new developments in the main directions of Clifford analysis. Just as complex analysis is based on the algebra of the complex numbers, Clifford analysis is based on the geometric Clifford algebras. Many methods and theorems from complex analysis generalize to higher dimensions in various ways. However, many new features emerge in the process, and much of this work is still in its infancy. Some of the leading mathematicians working in this field have contributed to this book in conjunction with “Clifford Analysis and Related Topics: a conference in honor of Paul A.M. Dirac,” which was held at Florida State University, Tallahassee, on December 15-17, 2014. The content reflects talks given at the conference, as well as contributions from mathematicians who were invited but were unable to attend. Hence much of the mathematics presented here is not only highly topical, but also cannot be found elsewhere in print. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to mathematicians and physicists working in these areas, as well as students seeking to catch up on the latest developments.

This book was released on 2001-11-12 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional analysis is not only a tool for unifying mathematical analysis, but it also provides the background for today's rapid development of the theory of partial differential equations. Using concepts of functional analysis, the field of complex analysis has developed methods (such as the theory of generalized analytic functions) for solving very general classes of partial differential equations.This book is aimed at promoting further interactions of functional analysis, partial differential equations, and complex analysis including its generalizations such as Clifford analysis. New interesting problems in the field of partial differential equations concern, for instance, the Dirichlet problem for hyperbolic equations. Applications to mathematical physics address mainly Maxwell's equations, crystal optics, dynamical problems for cusped bars, and conservation laws. remove /a remove
