 Hermitian matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Hermitian matrix (or self-adjoint matrix) is a square matrix with complex entries which is equal to its own conjugate transpose — that is, the element in the ith row and jth column is equal to the complex conjugate of the element in the jth row and ith column, for all indices i and j:
A matrix that has only real entries is Hermitian if and only if it is a symmetric matrix, i.e., if it is symmetric with respect to the main diagonal.
If the eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix are all positive, then the matrix is positive definite; if they are all non-negative, then the matrix is positive semidefinite.

 Citebase - Solution of the congruence problem for arbitrary hermitian and skew-hermitian matrices over polynomial rings
Answering a question raised by V.G. Kac, we show that every hermitian or skew-hermitian matrix over this algebra is congruent to the direct sum of 1 by 1 matrices and 2 by 2 matrices with zero diagonal.
Morevover, we show that if two n by n hermitian or skew-hermitian matrices have the same invariant factors, then they are congruent.

Given a centered data matrix X, X*X' is the dimension covarance matrix (ignore the factor 1/n) according to its definition (m x m) that measures the variance of data to the mean.

Theoretical analysis shows that the PSS method converges unconditionally to the exact solution of the linear system, with the upper bound of its convergence factor dependent only on the spectrum of the positive-definite splitting matrix and independent of the spectrum of the skew-Hermitian splitting matrix as well as the eigenvectors of all matrices involved.
When we specialize the PSS to block triangular (or triangular) and skew-Hermitian splitting (BTSS or TSS), the PSS method naturally leads to a BTSS or TSS iteration method, which may be more practical and efficient than the HSS and NSS iteration methods.
