  2. Complex conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate

    In mathematics, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. That is, if a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} are real numbers, then the complex conjugate of a + b i {\displaystyle a+bi} is a − b i . {\displaystyle a-bi.}

  3. Conjugate transpose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_transpose

    The conjugate transpose of a matrix with real entries reduces to the transpose of , as the conjugate of a real number is the number itself. The conjugate transpose can be motivated by noting that complex numbers can be usefully represented by 2 × 2 {\displaystyle 2\times 2} real matrices, obeying matrix addition and multiplication: a + i b ≡ ...

  4. Complex conjugate root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate_root_theorem

    In mathematics, the complex conjugate root theorem states that if P is a polynomial in one variable with real coefficients, and a + bi is a root of P with a and b being real numbers, then its complex conjugate a − bi is also a root of P. [1]

  5. Conjugacy class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugacy_class

    Two elements , are conjugate if there exists an element such that =, in which case is called a conjugate of and is called a conjugate of . In the case of the general linear group GL ⁡ ( n ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {GL} (n)} of invertible matrices , the conjugacy relation is called matrix similarity .

  6. Complex conjugate of a vector space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate_of_a...

    The letter stands for a vector in , is a complex number, and ¯ denotes the complex conjugate of . [1] More concretely, the complex conjugate vector space is the same underlying real vector space (same set of points, same vector addition and real scalar multiplication) with the conjugate linear complex structure J {\displaystyle J} (different ...

  7. Argument (complex analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_(complex_analysis)

    Figure 1. This Argand diagram represents the complex number lying on a plane.For each point on the plane, arg is the function which returns the angle . In mathematics (particularly in complex analysis), the argument of a complex number z, denoted arg(z), is the angle between the positive real axis and the line joining the origin and z, represented as a point in the complex plane, shown as in ...

  8. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    The conjugate gradient method can also be used to solve unconstrained optimization problems such as energy minimization. It is commonly attributed to Magnus Hestenes and Eduard Stiefel, [1] [2] who programmed it on the Z4, [3] and extensively researched it. [4] [5] The biconjugate gradient method provides a generalization to non-symmetric matrices.

  9. Powell's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell's_method

    Powell's method, strictly Powell's conjugate direction method, is an algorithm proposed by Michael J. D. Powell for finding a local minimum of a function. The function need not be differentiable, and no derivatives are taken. The function must be a real-valued function of a fixed number of real-valued inputs. The caller passes in the initial point.
