Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is a complex matrix conjugate? (Definition)
The definition of a complex conjugate matrix is a matrix made of the conjugate elements of the matrix.
For the matrix $ M=[a_{ij}] $, the conjugate matrix is noted with a bar $ \overline{M} $ or with an asterisk $ M^{*} $. For a complex value $ z $, its conjugated value is written $ \overline{z} $ or $ z^{*} $. By generalizing, the formula for calculating the conjugate matrix is:
$$ \overline{M} = [\overline{a_{ij}}] = [a_{ij}^{*}] $$
Remainder: the conjugate value of $ a+ib $ is $ a-ib $ (See the dCode page dedicated to complex conjugates)
How to calculate the complex conjugate of a matrix?
The conjugate matrix is calculated for a matrix with complex elements by calculating the conjugate value of each element.
Example: $$ M=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2-i \\ 3 & 4+2i \end{bmatrix} \Rightarrow \overline{M}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2+i \\ 3 & 4-2i \end{bmatrix} $$
Use the character i to represent $ i $ the imaginary unit for complex numbers.
What are the properties of a conjugate matrix?
A double conjugated matrix (conjugated two times) is equal to the original matrix. $$ \overline{\overline{M}}=M $$
