Which of the following options is a Hermitian matrix?
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (A) A = [ 1 2+3i ] [ 2−3i 5 ]
Explanation
A Hermitian matrix equals its conjugate transpose: diagonal entries are real and a_ji is the conjugate of a_ij. In A the diagonal is 1 and 5 and the off-diagonal entries 2+3i and 2-3i are conjugates.
