Abstract:

In this paper, we consider the inverse problem of quadratic eigenvalue for a Hermitian R-antisymmetric matrix. By using the matrix block method, singular value decomposition, vector straightening, and the Moore-Penrose inverse, we prove the existence of a Hermitian R-antisymmetric solution. In addition, we provide the general expression for a Hermitian R-antisymmetric solution, and discuss the best approximation thereof. Finally, an example is offered to validate the theory.

Key words: Hermitian R-antisymmetric matrix, singular value decomposition, vector straightening, optimal approximation
