Quaternion matrix decomposition and its theoretical implications

This paper proposes a novel matrix rank-one decomposition for quaternion Hermitian matrices, which admits a stronger property than the previous results in Ai W et al (Math Progr 128(1):253–283, 2011), Huang Y, Zhang S (Math Oper Res 32(3):758–768, 2007), Sturm JF, Zhang S (Math Oper Res 28(2):246–267 2003). The enhanced property can be used to drive some improved results in joint numerical range, S\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${\mathcal {S}}$$\end{document}-Procedure and quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) in the quaternion domain, demonstrating the capability of our new decomposition technique.
