Observer design over hypercomplex quaternions
Abstract
We develop observer design over hypercomplex quaternions in a characteristic-polynomial-free framework. Using the standard right-module convention, we derive a right observable companion form and companion polynomial that encode error dynamics through right-eigenvalue similarity classes. We also give an Ackermann-type formula for real-coefficient target polynomials, where polynomial evaluation is similarity-equivariant. The resulting recipes place observer poles directly over quaternions and clarify when companion-coordinate updates and one-shot Ackermann formulas remain valid.
