- Persymmetric matrix
In
mathematics , persymmetric matrix may refer to:
# asquare matrix which is symmetric in the northeast-to-southwest diagonal; or
# a square matrix such that the values on each line perpendicular to the main diagonal are the same for a given line.The first definition is the most common in the recent literature. The designation "Hankel matrix " is often used for matrices satisfying the property in the second definition.Definition 1
Let "A" = ("a""i""j") be an "n" × "n" matrix. The first definition of "persymmetric" requires that : for all "i", "j". [citation | first1=Gene H. | last1=Golub | author1-link=Gene H.

See page 193.] For example, 5-by-5 persymmetric matrices are of the form:
This can be equivalently expressed as "AJ = JA"T where "J" is the
exchange matrix .A
symmetric matrix is a matrix whose values are symmetric in the northwest-to-southeast diagonal. If a symmetric matrix is rotated by 90°, it becomes a persymmetric matrix. Symmetric persymmetric matrices are sometimes called bisymmetric matrices.Definition 2
The second definition is due to Thomas Muir.Muir, Thomas: "Treatise on the Theory of Determinants", page 419, Dover Press, 1960.] It says that the square matrix "A" = ("a""ij") is persymmetric if "a""ij" depends only on "i" + "j". Persymmetric matrices in this sense, or Hankel matrices as they are often called, are of the form:A persymmetric determinant is the
determinant of a persymmetric matrix.A matrix for which the values on each line parallel to the main diagonal are constant, is called a
Toeplitz matrix .References
