Three-Dimensional Octonion Wavelet Transform Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computational Mechanics 2014, 13(1), 33-38 THREE-DIMENSIONAL OCTONION WAVELET TRANSFORM Andrzej Katunin Institute of Fundamentals of Machinery Design, Silesian University of Technology Gliwice, Poland [email protected] Abstract. The necessities of processing of spatial data require developing new feature- -sensitive tools such as extensions of the wavelet transform. Considering the advantages of the application of complex wavelets and their extension to quaternionic wavelets for two- dimensional data structures, the new octonion discrete wavelet transform for the analysis of three-dimensional data structures was introduced in this paper. The construction of the wavelet pyramid as well as octonionic wavelets were presented. Keywords: octonion wavelet transform, spatial data processing, octonionic wavelets Introduction The modern demands of spatial data processing require efficient tools for data analysis and feature extraction. One of the intensively developed branches of tools for data processing is the wavelet transform, which allows for a great variation of scaling and wavelet functions, which could be applied during the transform in order to fulfill the requirements of the specific tasks. However, despite the great localization properties in both spatial and frequency domain, the real-valued wavelets lack the shift-invariance and directional selectivi- ty properties. Such properties have the complex-valued wavelets [1], because the independent filterbanks of real and imaginary wavelets constitute the Hilbert trans- form pair [2]. This explains why great attention is paid to the complex wavelets, complex wavelet transforms and their generalizations. Many authors developed the complex extensions of real-valued wavelets [3, 4] and new complex wavelets [5,6]. The natural extension of the complex wavelets and complex wavelet transform is the hypercomplex transform with appropriate wave- lets. The next generalization of a complex wavelet transform is the discrete quater- nion wavelet transform (QWT), which operates on the quaternion (hypercomplex) numbers of 4D vector space. The QWT was introduced in [7] and extended in [8] for the application to 2D image processing. The continuous version of QWT was introduced in [9]. Further, several researchers used QWT for various problems: Soulard and Carré [10] used QWT for texture classification, Liu et al. [2] presented a study of measuring of image sharpness based on quaternion wavelets, while the authors of [11, 12] applied QWT for texture and banknote classification. 34 A. Katunin The goal of the following study is to extend the QWT algorithm applicable to 2D datasets to octonion wavelet transform (OWT), which could be applied for the analysis of 3D datasets and ensures the shift-invariance and directional selectivity properties. The formulation of OWT including the multiresolution pyramid as well as formulation of octonionic wavelets structure were under consideration in this paper. 1. Octonion wavelet transform 1.1. Octonion algebra The octonions (known also as Cayley numbers) are the hypercomplex numbers of 8-dimensional vector space, which could be presented as: O = {o = xo + e1 x 1 + e2 x 2 + e3 x 3 + e4 x 4 + e5 x 5 + e6 x 6 + e7 x 7}, (1) where O is the octonion algebra, xi ∈R are the real coefficients and ei are the 2 orthogonal imaginary numbers, i.e. ei = −1. Considering the fact that octonions are neither commutative e e = −e e ≠ e e ≠ i j j i j i for i, j 0 (2) nor associative e e e = −e e e ≠ e e e ≠ ( i j) k i( j k ) i( j k ) for i,, j k 0 , (3) the multiplicative rules for them differed with respect to the complex algebra C or quaternionic algebra H. The description of the operations on octonions could be found in [13]. The conjugate of o is defined as: {o* = xo − e1 x 1 − e2 x 2 − e3 x 3 − e4 x 4 − e5 x 5 − e6 x 6 − e7 x 7}, (4) while the norm is defined as: o = o*⋅o , (5) which satisfies the following property: o1 o 2 = o1 ⋅ o2 . Extending the polar decomposition of H [12], the octonion o could be decom- posed in the same manner: O = O − }0{ ≅ S7 × R + , where S7 is not a group as for quaternions, S3 = SU )2( , it has a structure called a loop [14]. Similarly as in [12], the octonion could be decomposed as follows: o = o exp(e1α )exp(e2β )exp(e3γ )exp(e4δ )exp(e5ε )exp(e6ζ )exp(e7η) , (6) where o is the modulus of o and (α,,,,,,β γ δ ε ζ η) are the phase angles. Three-dimensional octonion wavelet transform 35 1.2. Octonionic wavelet pyramid Following Mallat’s multiresolution algorithm the 3D data structure f(x,y,z) could be presented in the decomposed form as follows: o f( x,, y z) = An f + n , (7) + o + o + o + o + o + o + o ∑(Di,1 f Di,2 f Di,3 f Di,4 f Di,5 f Di,6 f Di,7 f ) i=1 where o in the superscript was used for indicating octonion 3D analytic signal o o = defined e.g. in [15], An f( x,, y z) and Di, j f(,,) x y z , j 1,...,7, are the approximation and details sets of coefficients of f( x,, y z), respectively. The two latter sets could be then presented in terms of scaling function Φo (x,, y z) and wavelet functions Ψo j (x,, y z) as follows ∞ ∞ ∞ o = Φo Ai f(,,) x y z ∑ ∑ ∑ai,,, k l m i,,, k l m ()x,, y z , (8) k=−∞ l=−∞ m=−∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ o = Ψo Di, j f(,,) x y z ∑ ∑ ∑di,,,, j k l m i,,,, j k l m ()x,, y z , (9) k=−∞ l=−∞ m=−∞ where Φo = −iΦ o −i − −i − −i − i,,, k l m (x,, y z) 2 [2 (x k),2 (y l),2 (z m)], (10) Ψo = −i Ψo −i − −i − −i − i,,,, j k l m (x,, y z) 2 j [2 (x k ),2 (y l),2 (z m)], (11) and = Φo ai,,, k l m f( x,,, y z) i,,, k l m (x,, y z) , (12) = Ψo di,,,, j k l m f( x,,, y z) i,,,, j k l m (x,, y z) , (13) which could be obtained by the iterative determination of impulse responses ho o Φo Ψo and g of the filters (x,, y z) and j (x,, y z) following Mallat’s algorithm. Φo Ψo In the case, when (x,, y z) and j (x,, y z) are separable, they could be decomposed in the following way: o o Φ (x,, y z) = φ(x)φ(y)φ(z), Ψ4 (x,, y z) =ψ (x)ψ (y)φ(z), o o Ψ1 ()()()()x,, y z = φ x φ y ψ z , Ψ5 ()()()()x,, y z =ψ x φ y ψ z , o o (14) Ψ2 ()()()()x,, y z = φ x ψ y φ z , Ψ6 ()()()()x,, y z = φ x ψ y ψ z , o o Ψ3 ()()()()x,, y z =ψ x φ y φ z , Ψ7 ()()()()x,, y z =ψ x ψ y ψ z , 36 A. Katunin where φ (•) and ψ (•) are the 1D complex filters applied along the directions x, y and z. Considering the filter representation of OWT the octonionic scaling and wavelet functions (14) could be presented in the following way: Φo = + + (x,, y z) φh (x)φh (y)φh (z) e1φh (x)φh (y)φg (z) + + + e2φh ()()()()()()()()()x φg y φh z e3φh x φg y φg z e4φg x φh y φh z (15a) + + + e5φg ()()()()()()()()()x φh y φg z e6φg x φg y φh z e7φg x φg y φg z , Ψo = + + 1 (x,, y z) φh (x)φh (y)ψ h (z) e1φh (x)φh (y)ψ g (z) + + + + e2φh ()()()()()()()()()x φg y ψ h z e3φh x φg y ψ g z e4φg x φh y ψ h z (15b) + + + e5φg ()()()()()()()()()x φh y ψ g z e6φg x φg y ψ h z e7φg x φg y ψ g z , Ψo = + + 2 (x,, y z) φh (x)ψ h (y)φh (z) e1φh (x)ψ h (y)φg (z) + + + + e2φh ()()()()()()()()()x ψ g y φh z e3φh x ψ g y φg z e4φg x ψ h y φh z (15c) + + + e5φg ()()()()()()()()()x ψ h y φg z e6φg x ψ g y φh z e7φg x ψ g y φg z , Ψo = + + 3 (x,, y z) ψ h (x)φh (y)φh (z) e1ψ h (x)φh (y)φg (z) + + + + e2ψ h ()()()()()()()()()x φg y φh z e3ψ h x φg y φg z e4ψ g x φh y φh z (15d) + + + e5ψ g ()()()()()()()()()x φh y φg z e6ψ g x φg y φh z e7ψ g x φg y φg z , Ψo = + + 4 (x,, y z) ψ h (x)ψ h (y)φh (z) e1ψ h (x)ψ h (y)φg (z) + + + + e2ψ h ()()()()()()()()()x ψ g y φh z e3ψ h x ψ g y φg z e4ψ g x ψ h y φh z (15e) + + + e5ψ g ()()()()()()()()()x ψ h y φg z e6ψ g x ψ g y φh z e7ψ g x ψ g y φg z , Ψo = + + 5 (x,, y z) ψ h (x)φh (y)ψ h (z) e1ψ h (x)φh (y)ψ g (z) + + + + e2ψ h ()()()()()()()()()x φg y ψ h z e3ψ h x φg y ψ g z e4ψ g x φh y ψ h z (15f) + + + e5ψ g ()()()()()()()()()x φh y ψ g z e6ψ g x φg y ψ h z e7ψ g x φg y ψ g z , Ψo = + + 6 (x,, y z) φh (x)ψ h (y)ψ h (z) e1φh (x)ψ h (y)ψ g (z) + + + + e2φh ()()()()()()()()()x ψ g y ψ h z e3φh x ψ g y ψ g z e4φg x ψ h y ψ h z (15g) + + + e5φg ()()()()()()()()()x ψ h y ψ g z e6φg x ψ g y ψ h z e7φg x ψ g y ψ g z , Ψo = + + 7 (x,, y z) ψ h (x)ψ h (y)ψ h (z) e1ψ h (x)ψ h (y)ψ g (z) + + + + e2ψ h ()()()()()()()()()x ψ g y ψ h z e3ψ h x ψ g y ψ g z e4ψ g x ψ h y ψ h z (15h) + + + e5ψ g ()()()()()()()()()x ψ h y ψ g z e6ψ g x ψ g y ψ h z e7ψ g x ψ g y ψ g z .

  • Gauging the Octonion Algebra
    UM-P-92/60_» Gauging the octonion algebra A.K. Waldron and G.C. Joshi Research Centre for High Energy Physics, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 8052, Australia By considering representation theory for non-associative algebras we construct the fundamental and adjoint representations of the octonion algebra. We then show how these representations by associative matrices allow a consistent octonionic gauge theory to be realized. We find that non-associativity implies the existence of new terms in the transformation laws of fields and the kinetic term of an octonionic Lagrangian. PACS numbers: 11.30.Ly, 12.10.Dm, 12.40.-y. Typeset Using REVTEX 1 L INTRODUCTION The aim of this work is to genuinely gauge the octonion algebra as opposed to relating properties of this algebra back to the well known theory of Lie Groups and fibre bundles. Typically most attempts to utilise the octonion symmetry in physics have revolved around considerations of the automorphism group G2 of the octonions and Jordan matrix representations of the octonions [1]. Our approach is more simple since we provide a spinorial approach to the octonion symmetry. Previous to this work there were already several indications that this should be possible. To begin with the statement of the gauge principle itself uno theory shall depend on the labelling of the internal symmetry space coordinates" seems to be independent of the exact nature of the gauge algebra and so should apply equally to non-associative algebras. The octonion algebra is an alternative algebra (the associator {x-1,y,i} = 0 always) X -1 so that the transformation law for a gauge field TM —• T^, = UY^U~ — ^(c^C/)(/ is well defined for octonionic transformations U.

  • Hypercomplex Numbers
    Hypercomplex numbers Johanna R¨am¨o Queen Mary, University of London [email protected] We have gradually expanded the set of numbers we use: first from finger counting to the whole set of positive integers, then to positive rationals, ir- rational reals, negatives and finally to complex numbers. It has not always been easy to accept new numbers. Negative numbers were rejected for cen- turies, and complex numbers, the square roots of negative numbers, were considered impossible. Complex numbers behave like ordinary numbers. You can add, subtract, multiply and divide them, and on top of that, do some nice things which you cannot do with real numbers. Complex numbers are now accepted, and have many important applications in mathematics and physics. Scientists could not live without complex numbers. What if we take the next step? What comes after the complex numbers? Is there a bigger set of numbers that has the same nice properties as the real numbers and the complex numbers? The answer is yes. In fact, there are two (and only two) bigger number systems that resemble real and complex numbers, and their discovery has been almost as dramatic as the discovery of complex numbers was. 1 Complex numbers Complex numbers where discovered in the 15th century when Italian math- ematicians tried to find a general solution to the cubic equation x3 + ax2 + bx + c = 0: At that time, mathematicians did not publish their results but kept them secret. They made their living by challenging each other to public contests of 1 problem solving in which the winner got money and fame.

  • An Octonion Model for Physics
    An octonion model for physics Paul C. Kainen¤ Department of Mathematics Georgetown University Washington, DC 20057 USA [email protected] Abstract The no-zero-divisor division algebra of highest possible dimension over the reals is taken as a model for various physical and mathematical phenomena mostly related to the Four Color Conjecture. A geometric form of associativity is the common thread. Keywords: Geometric algebra, the Four Color Conjecture, rooted cu- bic plane trees, Catalan numbers, quaternions, octaves, quantum alge- bra, gravity, waves, associativity 1 Introduction We explore some consequences of octonion arithmetic for a hidden variables model of quantum theory and ideas regarding the propagation of gravity. This approach may also have utility for number theory and combinatorial topology. Octonion models are currently the focus of much work in the physics com- munity. See, e.g., Okubo [29], Gursey [14], Ward [36] and Dixon [11]. Yaglom [37, pp. 94, 107] referred to an \octonion boom" and it seems to be acceler- ating.

It is easy to see the allure of octaves since there are many phenomena in the elementary particle realm which have 8-fold symmetries.

  • Truly Hypercomplex Numbers
    TRULY HYPERCOMPLEX NUMBERS: UNIFICATION OF NUMBERS AND VECTORS Redouane BOUHENNACHE (pronounce Redwan Boohennash) Independent Exploration Geophysical Engineer / Geophysicist 14, rue du 1er Novembre, Beni-Guecha Centre, 43019 Wilaya de Mila, Algeria E-mail: [email protected] First written: 21 July 2014 Revised: 17 May 2015 Abstract Since the beginning of the quest of hypercomplex numbers in the late eighteenth century, many hypercomplex number systems have been proposed but none of them succeeded in extending the concept of complex numbers to higher dimensions. This paper provides a definitive solution to this problem by defining the truly hypercomplex numbers of dimension N ≥ 3. The secret lies in the definition of the multiplicative law and its properties. This law is based on spherical and hyperspherical coordinates. These numbers which I call spherical and hyperspherical hypercomplex numbers define Abelian groups over addition and multiplication. Nevertheless, the multiplicative law generally does not distribute over addition, thus the set of these numbers equipped with addition and multiplication does not form a mathematical field. However, such numbers are expected to have a tremendous utility in mathematics and in science in general.

  • Classification of Left Octonion Modules
    Classification of left octonion modules Qinghai Huo, Yong Li, Guangbin Ren Abstract It is natural to study octonion Hilbert spaces as the recently swift development of the theory of quaternion Hilbert spaces. In order to do this, it is important to study first its algebraic structure, namely, octonion modules. In this article, we provide complete classification of left octonion modules. In contrast to the quaternionic setting, we encounter some new phenomena. That is, a submodule generated by one element m may be the whole module and may be not in the form Om. This motivates us to introduce some new notions such as associative elements, conjugate associative elements, cyclic elements. We can characterize octonion modules in terms of these notions. It turns out that octonions admit two distinct structures of octonion modules, and moreover, the direct sum of their several copies exhaust all octonion modules with finite dimensions.

  • On the Tensor Product of Two Composition Algebras
    On The Tensor Product of Two Composition Algebras Patrick J. Morandi S. Pumplun¨ 1 Introduction Let C1 F C2 be the tensor product of two composition algebras over a field F with char(F ) =¡ 2. R. Brauer [7] and A. A. Albert [1], [2], [3] seemed to be the first math- ematicians who investigated the tensor product of two quaternion algebras. Later their results were generalized to this more general situation by B. N. Allison [4], [5], [6] and to biquaternion algebras over rings by Knus [12]. In the second section we give some new results on the Albert form of these algebras. We also investigate the F -quadric defined by this Albert form, generalizing a result of Knus ([13]). £ £ Since Allison regarded the involution ¢ = 1 2 as an essential part of the algebra C = C1 C2, he only studied automorphisms of C which are compatible with ¢ . In the last section we show that any automorphism of C that preserves a certain biquaternion subalgebra also is compatible with ¢ . As a consequence, if C is the tensor product of two octonion algebras, we show that C does not satisfy the Skolem-Noether Theorem. Let F be a field and C a unital, nonassociative F -algebra. Then C is a composition algebra if there exists a nondegenerate quadratic form n : C ¤ F such that n(x · y) = n(x)n(y) for all x, y ¥ C. The form n is uniquely determined by these conditions and is called the norm of C. We will write n = nC . Composition algebras only exist in ranks 1, 2, 4 or 8 (see [10]).

  • The Quaterniontonic and Octoniontonic Fibonacci Cassini's
    INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION e-ISSN: 1306-3030. 2018, Vol. 13, No. 3, 125-138 OPEN ACCESS https://doi.org/10.12973/iejme/2703 The Quaterniontonic and Octoniontonic Fibonacci Cassini’s Identity: An Historical Investigation with the Maple’s Help Francisco Regis Vieira Alves 1 1 Federal Institute of Sciences and Education of Ceara, BRAZIL * CORRESPONDENCE: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper discusses a proposal for exploration and verification of numerical and algebraic behavior correspondingly to Generalized Fibonacci model. Thus, it develops a special attention to the class of Fibonacci quaternions and Fibonacci octonions and with this assumption, the work indicates an investigative and epistemological route, with assistance of software CAS Maple. The advantage of its use can be seen from the algebraic calculation of some Fibonacci’s identities that showed unworkable without the technological resource. Moreover, through an appreciation of some mathematical definitions and recent theorems, we can understand the current evolutionary content of mathematical formulations discussed over this writing. On the other hand, the work does not ignore some historical elements which contributed to the discovery of quaternions by the mathematician William Rowan Hamilton (1805 – 1865). Finally, with the exploration of some simple software’s commands allows the verification and, above all, the comparison of the numerical datas with the theorems formally addressed in some academic articles. Keywords: Fibonacci’s model, historical investigation, Fibonacci quaternions, Fibonacci octonions, CAS Maple INTRODUCTION Undoubtedly, the role of the Fibonacci’s sequence is usually discussed by most of mathematics history books. Despite its presentation in a form of mathematical problem, concerning the birth of rabbits’ pairs, still occurs a powerful mathematical model that became the object of research, especially with the French mathematician François Édouard Anatole Lucas (1842–1891).

  • On Quaternions and Octonions: Their Geometry, Arithmetic, and Symmetry,By John H
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 42, Number 2, Pages 229–243 S 0273-0979(05)01043-8 Article electronically published on January 26, 2005 On quaternions and octonions: Their geometry, arithmetic, and symmetry,by John H. Conway and Derek A. Smith, A K Peters, Ltd., Natick, MA, 2003, xii + 159 pp., $29.00, ISBN 1-56881-134-9 Conway and Smith’s book is a wonderful introduction to the normed division algebras: the real numbers (R), the complex numbers (C), the quaternions (H), and the octonions (O). The first two are well-known to every mathematician. In contrast, the quaternions and especially the octonions are sadly neglected, so the authors rightly concentrate on these. They develop these number systems from scratch, explore their connections to geometry, and even study number theory in quaternionic and octonionic versions of the integers. Conway and Smith warm up by studying two famous subrings of C: the Gaussian integers and Eisenstein integers. The Gaussian integers are the complex numbers x + iy for which x and y are integers. They form a square lattice: i 01 Any Gaussian integer can be uniquely factored into ‘prime’ Gaussian integers — at least if we count differently ordered factorizations as the same and ignore the ambiguity introduced by the invertible Gaussian integers, namely ±1and±i.To show this, we can use a straightforward generalization of Euclid’s proof for ordinary integers. The key step is to show that given nonzero Gaussian integers a and b,we can always write a = nb + r for some Gaussian integers n and r, where the ‘remainder’ r has |r| < |b|.
