Abstract

The complex matrix equation \(A\overline{X}-XB=C\) is of interest in simplifying matrix representations of semilinear transformations arising from quantum mechanics. However, there has not been a complete algorithm for solving it so far. In this paper, we provide a complete algorithm to compute solutions of the complex matrix equation \(A\overline{X}-XB=C\), and give an example. The results of this paper manifest the advantage of the quaternion matrix theory in solving some complex matrix problems.
