A Family of Iterative Methods for Computing Generalized Inverses of Quaternion Matrices and its Applications
For researchers in quaternion linear algebra and signal processing, this work provides faster iterative methods for computing generalized inverses, though it is an incremental improvement over existing techniques.
The paper introduces three iterative algorithms for computing the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse of quaternion matrices, achieving accuracy comparable to existing methods while offering computational savings, as demonstrated in image completion and signal filtering applications.
The computation of generalized inverses of quaternion matrices is a fundamental problem in quaternion linear algebra, with wide-ranging applications in signal processing, image restoration, and multidimensional data analysis. This paper presents three efficient quaternion iterative algorithms for computing the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse: (i) the quaternion rapid iterative method (QRAPID), (ii) the quaternion strong approximate inverse (QSAI), and (iii) the quaternion hyperpower iterative method of order nineteen (QHPI19). Convergence theorems and perturbation bounds are established to ensure numerical stability and robustness. The QSAI method is further employed as a preconditioner for quaternion Krylov subspace solvers, resulting in substantial reductions in the iteration count and runtime for large-scale linear systems. Comprehensive numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithms achieve an accuracy comparable to or better than existing approaches, including quaternion SVD, quaternion Newton-Schulz, and classical hyperpower schemes, while offering significant computational savings. The practical utility of the framework is illustrated through two representative applications: image completion via CUR decomposition and signal filtering, which confirm its scalability and effectiveness in real-world multidimensional data applications.
