The Adjoint Alternative For Matrix Operators, C. H. Cooke

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

The following inverse problem is considered: given a matrix B of rank r, does there exist a matrix A such that

B = T(A) = adjoint (A)

where the classical adjoint operation is intended? Conditions are determined on the rank of B which decides whether or not B lies in the range of the matrix adjoint operator.
