Bisymmetric matrix
In mathematics, a bisymmetric matrix is a square matrix that is symmetric about both of its main diagonals. More precisely, an n × n matrix A is bisymmetric if it satisfies both A = AT and AJ = JA where J is the n × n exchange matrix.
For example, any matrix of the form
is bisymmetric.
Properties
- Bisymmetric matrices are both symmetric centrosymmetric and symmetric persymmetric.
- The product of two bisymmetric matrices is a centrosymmetric matrix.
- Real-valued bisymmetric matrices are precisely those symmetric matrices whose eigenvalues remain the same aside from possible sign changes following pre- or post-multiplication by the exchange matrix.[1]
- If A is a real bisymmetric matrix with distinct eigenvalues, then the matrices that commute with A must be bisymmetric.[2]
- The inverse of bisymmetric matrices can be represented by recurrence formulas.[3]
