2 1120 Junqing Wang, Jiyong Lu and Yumin Feng 2 Preliminaries Definition 21 Let A C n n,ifa H = A,then A is called a Hermite matrix Definition 22 Let U C n n,if U H U = UU H = I,U is called a Unitary matrix Definition 23 Let A C n n is a Hermite matrix,if for any x C n and x 0,x H Ax > 0 is permanent establishment,then A is called positive definite matrix, denoted A>0; if for any x C n, x H Ax 0 is permanent establishment,then A is called non-negative definite matrix, denoted A 0If A B 0,we say A is greater than or equal to B,denoted A B Lemma 24 matrix Let A C n n is a Hermite matrix,then A 1 is also a Hermite Lemma 25 Let A C n n is a Hermite matrix,then S H AS is also a Hermite matrix for an arbitrary phalanx S Lemma 26 Let A C n n is a Hermite matrix,then A>0 if and only if there exists an invertible matrix P to make P H AP = I be satisfied Lemma 27 Let A C n n is a Hermite matrix,then there exists an Unitary matrix U to make U H AU be diagonal matrix 3 Conclusions Theorem 31 Let A, B C n n are two Hermite matrices,and B>0,then there exists an invertible matrix P to make P H AP and P H BP both diagonal matrices Proof For B > 0,according to the Lemma 26,there exists an invertible matrix P 1 to make P1 HBP 1 = I And A is a Hermite matrix,with Lemma 25,P1 H AP 1 is also a Hermite matrix,then there exists an Unitary matrix U to make U H (P1 HAP 1)U = diag(λ 1,λ 2,λ n ) be satisfied Put P = P 1 U,then P is invertible and P H BP = U H P1 H BP 1U = U H IU = I,P H AP = U H P1 H AP 1U = diag(λ 1,λ 2,λ n ) So the conclusion can be true Theorem 32 suppose A, B C n n are two Hermite matrices,then there exists an Unitary matrix U to make U H AU and U H BU both diagonal matrices if and only if AB = BA

3 Congruence diagonalization 1121 Proof Proof of the necessary conditions According to the known condition,we have U H AU =Λ 1,U H BU =Λ 2, where Λ 1 and Λ 2 are diagonal matrices with the eigenvalues of A and B as its diagonal elements respectively We can get A =(U 1 ) H Λ 1 U 1 and B = (U 1 ) H Λ 2 U 1,soAB =(U 1 ) H Λ 1 Λ 2 U 1 and BA = U 1 ) H Λ 2 Λ 1 U 1 Another part,for Λ 1 and Λ 2 are both diagonal matrices,λ 1 Λ 2 =Λ 2 Λ 1,therefore,we can obtain AB = BA Proof of sufficient conditions For A is a Hermite matrix,with Lemma 27,there exists an Unitary matrix U to make U H 0 λ AU = 0 0 λ s I ns be satisfied,where s i=1 n i = n andλ i (i =1, 2,,s)are different eigenvalues with each other of A and the multiplicity of λ i is n i Put U H BU,we prove U H BU to be a block diagonal matrix below B 11 B 12 B 1s suppose U H B BU = 21 B 22 B 2s For AB = BA and U H U = B s1 B s2 B ss UU H = I,so U H ABU = U H BAU,namely (U H AU)(U H BU) =(U H BU)(U H AU),that is, λ 1 B 11 λ 1 B 12 λ 1 B 1s λ 1 B 11 λ 2 B 12 λ s B 1s λ 2 B 21 λ 2 B 22 λ 2 B 2s λ = 1 B 21 λ 2 B 22 λ s B 2s λ s B s1 λ s B s2 λ s B ss λ 1 B s1 λ 2 B s2 λ s B ss Comparing the two matrices on both sides of the equation above,due to λ i λ j B (while i j),so B ij =0(i j)thus we have U H 0 B BU = 2 B 0 0 B ss is a Hermite matrix,then U H BU is also a Hermite matrix,so B ii (i =1, 2,s) are sub-block Hermite matricesfor each sub-block matrix B ii (i =1, 2,,s),there exists an Unitary matrix V i to satisy Vi H B ii V i =Λ i,where Λ i is a diagonal ma-

4 1122 Junqing Wang, Jiyong Lu and Yumin Feng V V trixtherefore we put V = and V is a Unitary matrix 0 0 V s apparently,so V 1 HB 11V Λ V H (U H 0 V H BU)V = 2 B 22 V 0 Λ = 0 0 Vs HB ssv s 0 0 Λ s and V H (U H AU)V = V 1 Hλ 1I n1 V V H 2 λ 2 I n2 V 0 λ = 0 0 Vs Hλ si ns V s 0 0 λ s I ns Note W = UV,then W is the Unitary matrix which can make W H AW,W H BW both diagonal matrices simultaneously Theorem 33suppose A, B C n n are two Hermite matrices, A, B 0,then there exists an invertible matrix P to make P H AP and P H BP both diagonal matrices Proof A, B C n n are two Hermite matrices,then A + B is also a Hermite matrix,therefore there exists an invertible matrix P 1 to make P1 H (A + B)P 1 = I r 0 be satisfied (where r = rank(a+b))put P1 H 0 0 BP 1 = B 11 B 12 B 21 B 22 (where B 11 is a r r phalanx),we have P1 H (A+B)P 1 0 and P1 HBP 1 0 and P1 H(A + B)P 1 P1 HBP 1,that is, I r 0 B 11 B 12, sob 12 = B 21 = 0 0 B 21 B 22 B 22 = 0 and B 11 0However B 11 is also Hermite matrix,therefore there exists an Unitary matrix U tomake U H B 11 U =Λ r (where Λ r is a r-order diagonal matrix)we put P = P 1 U 0,thenP H BP = Λ r 0 and P H AP = 0 I n r 0 0 P H (A+B B)P = P H (A+B)P P H BP = I r Λ r 0,therefore P is the 0 0 invertible matrix which can make P H AP and P H BP both diagonal matrices

5 Congruence diagonalization 1123 Theorem 34 suppose A, B C n n are two Hermite matrices,and A is invertible,then A and B can be congruence diagonalized simultaneously if and only if A 1 B can be diagonalized ProofProof of the necessary conditions According to the known condition, there exists an invertible matrix P which make A =(P 1 ) H Λ 1 P 1 and B =(P 1 ) H Λ 2 P 1 be satisfied (where Λ 1 and Λ 2 are both diagonal matrices)then A 1 B = P Λ 1 1 P H (P 1 ) H Λ 2 P 1 = P Λ 1 1 Λ 2 P 1 = P ΛP 1 (where Λ = Λ 1 1 Λ 2 is a diagonal matrix),therefore P 1 A 1 BP = Λ,the conclusion come true Proof of sufficient conditions A 1 B can be diagonalized,so there exists an invertible matrix P to make P 1 A 1 0 λ BP = =Λ λ s I ns be satisfied (where s i=1 n i = n andλ i (i = 1, 2,,s)are different eigenvalues with each other of A 1 B and the multiplicity of λ i is n i )Therefore BP = AP Λ 1,we make both sides of the equation BP = AP Λ 1 be multiplied by P H,then we can get P H BP = P H AP Λ 1 For P H BP is also a Hermite matrix,then P H BP = (P H BP) H,that is,p H AP Λ 1 = Λ H 1 P H A H P = Λ 1 P H AP,so with the proof of Theorem 32 we can know that P H AP is a block diagonal matrix Set P H AP =Λ 2,there exists an block Unitary matrix V V V = to make V H (P H AP )V =Λ 2 (where Λ 2 is a diagonal matrix)put Q = PV,then Q H AQ = V H P H AP V =Λ 2 and Q H BQ = 0 0 V s V H P H BPV = V H P H AP Λ 1 V = V H P H AP V Λ 1 =Λ 2 Λ 1 = Λ(where Λ is also a diagonal matrix)therefore Q is the invertible matrix which can make A and B be congruence diagonalization simultaneouslythe conclusion be established Theorem 35 suppose A, B C n n are two Hermite matrices,and A, B are non-invertible,however there exists a λ 0 C to make A + λ 0 B invertible,then A and B can be congruence diagonalized simultaneously if and only if (A + λ 0 B) 1 B can be diagonalized ProofProof of the necessary conditions

6 1124 Junqing Wang, Jiyong Lu and Yumin Feng According to the known condition, there exists an invertible matrix P,which make A =(P 1 ) H Λ 1 P 1 and B =(P 1 ) H Λ 2 P 1 be satisfied (where Λ 1 and Λ 2 both diagonal matrices)then (A+λ 0 B) 1 B = P (Λ 1 +λ 0 Λ 2 ) 1 P H (P 1 ) H Λ 2 P 1 = P (Λ 1 + λ 0 Λ 2 ) 1 Λ 2 P 1 = P ΛP 1 (where Λ = (Λ 1 + λ 0 Λ 2 ) 1 Λ 2 is a diagonal matrix),therefore P 1 (A + λ 0 B) 1 BP = Λ,the conclusion come true Proof of sufficient conditions(a+λ 0 B) 1 B can be diagonalized,so there exists an invertible matrix P to make P 1 (A+λ 0 B) 1 0 λ BP = = 0 0 λ s I ns Λ 1 be satisfied (where s i=1 n i = n and λ i (i =1, 2,,s)are different eigenvalues with each other of (A+λ 0 B) 1 B and the multiplicity of λ i is n i )Therefore BP =(A+λ 0 B)P Λ 1,we make both sides of the equation BP =(A+λ 0 B)P Λ 1 be multiplied by P H,then we can get P H BP = P H (A + λ 0 B)P Λ 1 For P H BP is also a Hermite matrix,then P H BP =(P H BP) H,that is,p H (A+λ 0 B)P Λ 1 = Λ H 1 P H (A + λ 0 B) H P =Λ 1 P H (A + λ 0 B)P,so we can know that P H (A + λ 0 B)P is a block diagonal matrix Set P H (A + λ 0 B)P =Λ b,there exists an block V V Unitary matrix V = to make V H [P H (A + λ 0 B)P ]V = 0 0 V s Λ 2 (where Λ 2 is a diagonal matrix)put Q = PV,then Q H BQ = V H P H BPV = V H P H (A + λ 0 B)P Λ 1 V = V H P H (A + λ 0 B)PVΛ 1 =Λ 2 Λ 1 = Λ(where Λ is also a diagonal matrix)and Q H AQ = Q H (A + λ 0 B λ 0 B)Q = Q H (A + λ 0 B)Q Q H λ 0 BQ =Λ 2 λ 0 Λ(where Λ 2 λ 0 Λ is also a diagonal matrix)thus Q is the invertible matrix which can make A and B be congruence diagonalization simultaneouslythe conclusion be established Theorem 36 Two 2 2 Hermite matrices whose ranks are both one must be congruence diagonalized simultaneously ProofLet A and B are the two matrices satisfying the known conditionaccording to the condition,we can get only two situations,that is, either A = λb or A+B is invertiblewe discuss the two points below While A = λb,for A and B is Hermite matrices,apparently there exists an invertible matrix P which make P H AP and P H BP both diagonalization

7 Congruence diagonalization 1125 simultaneously While A + B is invertible,we know A + B and(a + B) 1 and (A + B) 1 B are also Hermite matrices Especially for (A + B) 1 B,we can put invertible matrices P which make P H (A + B) 1 BP be a diagonalization matrix,therefore with the Theorem 35,we can get A and B can be congruence diagonalized simultaneously References [1] Qiu Wei-sheng,The suficient and necessary condition for simultaneously congruent diagonalization of two symmetric matrice[j],journal of LONGYAN Univercity, Vol 26, 2008 [2] Chen Xianping et,the conditions of simultaneous diagonalization of two matrices[j](in Chinese),Journal of ZAOZHUANG Univercity, Vol 122, No 2, 2005 [3] Zhou Liren, On the condition about simultaneous diagonalization of matrixes, Journal of Hunan Institute of Science and Technology, Vol 20, No 1,March 2007 [4] Xia Xuan, Diagonalization of two matrices simultaneously, Journal of Nan- Chang Institute of Aeronautical Technology (Natural Sciences), Vol 17, No 3, Sep 2003 [5] Wang Xinzhe and Jiang Yan-jie, The discussion on generalized diagonalization matrix[j], College Mathematics, Vol 25, August 2009 Received: June, 2010
