Abstract

The relation between complex matrices H and A, given by the equality H A = ĀH is called the pseudo-commutation. The set SH of all A that pseudo-commute with a nonsingular n × n matrix H is called the pseudo-commutation class defined by H . Every class SH is a subspace of the space Mn(C) interpreted as a real vector space of dimension 2n2. Under the assumption dimR SH = n2, we find a necessary and sufficient condition for the possibility to decomplexify all the matrices in SH by one and the same similarity transformation.
