Question

deal with the eigenvalue/eigenvector problem for n×n real skew-symmetric matrices.

Q. Let A be an n×n real skew-symmetric matrix.. Prove that for all v1 and v2 in Cn, ⟨Av1,v2⟩=−⟨v1, Av2⟩, where ⟨,⟩ denotes the standard inner product in Cn

Expert Solution
Step 1

It is given that the matrix A is skew symmetric matrix of order n. We know that a matrix S is said to be

a skew symmetric matrix if ST=-S.

We have to show that Av1, v2=-v1, Av2 for the skew symmetric matrix A of order n and  , 

denotes the inner product space.
