More Types of Matrices

Symmetric Matrix

If A=ATA=A^{T}. Subset of square matrices.

Skew Symmetric Matrix

If A=−ATA=-A^{T}. Subset of square matrices. All elements in main diagonal are 00.

Complex Conjucate of a Matrix

Suppose A=( aij )n×nA=(\,a_{\text{ij}}\,)_{n\times n}. Complex conjucate matrix of AA is:

A*=AT‾=( aji‾ )n×nA^{\text{*}} = \overline{A^{T}} = (\,\overline{a_{\text{ji}}}\,)_{n\times n}

Hermitian Matrix

A square matrix AA is said to be a Hermitian matrix iff A=AT‾A=\overline{A^{T}}.

Skew Hermitian Matrix

A square matrix AA is said to be a Hermitian matrix iff A=−AT‾A=-\overline{A^{T}}.
