Characterize matrices complying to certain constraints.

36 Views Asked by At

Characterize those matrices $ X $ (real symmetric), $ Y$ (real positive definite), $ R$ (real diagonal) and $ F $ (real diagonal) such that

$ XRY + YRX = 0$ , (1)

$ YRY - XRX = F$ . (2)

i.e, can we give some explicit expressions (or give some properties) for $ X$ , $ Y$ , $ R$ , and $ F$ ?

From (1), I can only derive that

$RX = MJM^{-1}$ and $ Y = M^{-T}M^{-1}$ , where $ J$ is skew symmetric and $ M$ is full rank.
