Abstract :This study aims at the simultaneous solution of several quaternion linear systems with the same Hermitian and positive definite coefficient matrix by employing the conjugate gradient method. We consider the setting when the quaternion Hermitian positive definite coefficient matrix at hand is very large so that direct methods are not applicable. In the study, we first transform linear quaternion systems into real linear systems. The transformed real linear systems have special structure due to the fact that they are real representations of quaternion systems. Benefitting from the special structure, we further reduce the size of these linear systems. Then a block conjugate gradient method is applied to the resulting reduced real linear systems. The solution obtained after applying the conjugate gradient method is a real representation of the solution of the original quaternion problem. Thus, a conversion of this real solution to the quaternion setting is performed in the end.
