Quaternionic Neural Networks: Fundamental Properties and Applications

Complex numbers play an important role in practical applications and fundamental theorems in various fields of engineering such as electromagnetics, communication, control theory, and quantum mechanics. The application of complex numbers to neural networks has recently attracted attention because they tend to improve the learning ability and conform to the abovementioned applications (Hirose, 2003) (Rao, Nitta & Murthy, 2008).
