Quaternions as a normed algebra #
In this file we define the following structures on the space ℍ := ℍ[ℝ]
of quaternions:
- inner product space;
- normed ring;
- normed space over
ℝ
.
We show that the norm on ℍ[ℝ]
agrees with the euclidean norm of its components.
Notation #
The following notation is available with open Quaternion
or open scoped Quaternion
:
ℍ
: quaternions

Space of quaternions over a type, denoted as ℍ[R]
.
Implemented as a structure with four fields: re
, im_i
, im_j
, and im_k
