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
