ishermitian

ishermitian(A) -> Bool

Test whether a matrix is Hermitian.

Examples

julia> A = [1 2+3im 4; 2-3im 5 6; 4 6 7];
julia> ishermitian(A)
true

This example checks whether the matrix A is Hermitian. The function ishermitian returns true if the matrix is Hermitian, and false otherwise.

julia> B = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
julia> ishermitian(B)
false

In this example, the matrix B is not Hermitian, so the function returns false.

Common mistake example:

julia> C = [1 2+3im; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
julia> ishermitian(C)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching ishermitian(::Array{Complex{Int64},2})

In this case, the matrix C contains complex numbers, but ishermitian only works with real matrices. Make sure to provide a real matrix to the ishermitian function to avoid such errors.
