A square matrix A is said to be symmetric if its transpose A^T satisfies A^T= A, and a
complex-valued square matrix A is said to be Hermitian if its conjugate transpose A^H =
(A)^T = A^T satisfies A^H = A. Thus, a real-valued square matrix A is symmetric if and
only if it is Hermitian. Which of the following is a vector space?
(a) The set of all n xn real-valued symmetric matrices over R.
(b) The set of all n xn complex-valued symmetric matrices over C.
(c) The set of all nx n complex-valued Hermitian matrices over R.
(d) The set of all n xn complex-valued Hermitian matrices over C.
For each case, either verify that it is a vector space or prove otherwise.

Create a square, almost symmetric 4 X 4 matrix B with values 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the diagonal. Let values off diagonal be between 0.01 and 0.2. Almost symmetric matrix is not a scientific term. It just means that most of the off diagonal terms on transpose positions are close in value: 1. Determine matrix BINV which is an inverse of matrix B; 2. Demonstrate that the matrix multiplied by its inverse produces a unit matrix. Unit matrix...

Given a square matrix of integers m, your task is to rearrange its numbers in the following way: First, sort its values in ascending order of how frequently the number occurs in m. In the case of a tie, sort the equally frequent numbers by their values, in ascending order. Second, place the sorted numbers diagonally, starting from the bottom right corner, like this: Example For m = [[ 1, 4, -2], [-2, 3, 4], [ 3, 1, 3]] the...

A JAVA program that will read a boolean matrix corresponding to a relation R and output whether R is Reflexive, Symmetric, Anti-Symmetric and/or Transitive.

A JAVA program that will read a boolean matrix corresponding to a relation R and output whether R is Reflexive, Symmetric, Anti-Symmetric and/or Transitive. Input to the program will be the size n of an n x n boolean matrix followed by the matrix elements. Document your program nicely.NOTE: The program must output a reason in the case that an input relation fails to have a certain property.
