Inequality, uncertainty principles and their structural analysis for offset linear canonical transform and its quaternion extension

Abstract

This work undertakes a twofold investigation. In the first part, we examine the inequalities and uncertainty principles in the framework of offset linear canonical transform (OLCT), with particular attention to its scaling and shifting effects. Theoretical developments are complemented by numerical simulations that substantiate and illustrate the analytical results. In the second part, we establish the connection of quaternion offset linear canonical transform (QOLCT) and the OLCT by employing the orthogonal plane split (OPS) approach. Through this approach, the inequalities and uncertainty principles derived for the OLCT are extended to the QOLCT. Moreover, the computational methods designed for the OLCT may be systematically adapted to facilitate the numerical implementation of the QOLCT using this connection between OLCT and QOLCT.
