Basic Properties
Recall that a vector space in which the scalars are allowed to be complex numbers is called a complex vector space. Linear combinations of vectors in a complex vector space are defined exactly as in a real vector space except that the scalars are allowed to be complex numbers. More precisely, a vector w is called a linear combination of the vectors of , if w can be expressed in the form

Normal Matrices Hermitian matrices enjoy many but
not all of the properties of real symmetric matrices.
The Hermitian matrices do not constitute the entire class of unitarily diagonalizable matrices.
A square matrix A with complex entries is called normal if AA*= A*A

Diagonalization Procedure Step 1. Find a basis for each eigenspace
of A. Step 2. Apply the Gram-Schmidt process
to each of these bases to obtain an orthonormal basis for each eigenspace.
Step 3. Form the matrix P whose columns are the basis vectors constructed in Step 2. This matrix unitarily diagonalizes A.

Theorem 10.6.5 The eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix are
real numbers.Proof. If λ is an eigenvalue and v a
corresponding eigenvector of an n × n Hermitian matrix A, then Av=λv
If we multiply each side of this equation on the left by v* and then use the remark following Theorem 10.6.1 to write v*v=||v||2 (with the Euclidean inner product on Cn), then we obtain v*Av= v*(λv)= λ v*v= λ||v||2
![Page 57: 10.4 Complex Vector Spaces. Basic Properties Recall that a vector space in which the scalars are allowed to be complex numbers is called a complex vector](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c4e5503460f948f3e5e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Theorem 10.6.5(cont.) But if we agree not to distinguish between
the 1 × 1 matrix v*Av and its entry, and if we use the fact that eigenvectors are nonzero, then we can express λ as
To show that λ is a real number it suffices to show that the entry of v*Av is Hermitian, since we know that Hermitian matrices have real numbers on the main diagonal. (v*Av)*= v*A* (v*)*=v*Avwhich shows that v*Av is Hermitian and completes the proof.
