L-structured quaternion matrices and quaternion linear matrix equations

This paper focuses on L-structured quaternion matrices. L-structured real matrices, conditions for the existence of solutions and the general solution of linear matrix equations were studied in the paper [Magnus JR. L-structured matrices and linear matrix equations, Linear Multilinear Algebra 1983;14:67–88]. In this paper, we present a theoretical study extending L-structured real matrices to L-structured quaternion matrices, and introduce some L-structured quaternion matrices. Based on them, we then discuss their applications in quaternion matrix equations.
