Linear mapping of quaternion algebra

Linear automorphism of quaternion algebra is a liner over real field mapping f:HH
such that f(ab)=f(a)f(b)
Evidently, linear mapping E(x)=x
is linear automorphism. In quaternion algebra there are nontrivial linear automorphisms. For instance
E1(x)=x0 +x2i +x3j +x1k
E3(x)=x0 +x2i +x1j -x3k
where
x=x0 +x1i +x2j +x3k

Similarly, the mapping

I(x)=x0 -x1i -x2j -x3k
is antilinear automorphism because I(ab)=I(b)I(a)

In the paper eprint arXiv:1107.1139, Linear Mappings of Quaternion Algebra, I proved following statement. For any linear over real field function $f$ there is unique expansion f(x)=a0E(x)+a1E1(x)+a2E2(x)+a3I(x)
