Antisymmetric MatrixAn antisymmetric matrix is a Matrix which satisfies the identity
| (1) |
where is the Matrix Transpose. In component notation, this becomes
| (2) |
Letting , the requirement becomes
| (3) |
so an antisymmetric matrix must have zeros on its diagonal. The general antisymmetric matrix is of the form
| (4) |
Applying to both sides of the antisymmetrycondition gives
| (5) |
Any Square Matrix can be expressed as the sum of symmetric and antisymmetric parts. Write
| (6) |
But
| (7) |
| (8) |
so
| (9) |
which is symmetric, and
| (10) |
which is antisymmetric.See also Skew Symmetric Matrix, Symmetric Matrix
