Polar decompositions of quaternion matrices with respect to a given indefinite inner product are studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an $H$-polar decomposition are found. In the process an equivalent to Witt's theorem on extending $H$-isometries to $H$-unitary matrices is given for quaternion matrices.
The complex matrix representation for a quaternion matrix is used in this paper to find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an $H$-selfadjoint $m$th root of a given $H$-selfadjoint quaternion matrix. In the process, when such an $H$-selfadjoint $m$th root exists, its construction is also given.
In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of an $H$-selfadjoint $m$th root of a given $H$-selfadjoint matrix. A construction is given of such an $H$-selfadjoint $m$th root when it does exist.
