Abstract
Polar decompositions X=UA of real and complex matrices X with respect to the scalar product generated by a given indefinite nonsingular matrix H are studied in the following special cases: (1) X is an H-contraction, (2) X is an H-plus matrix, (3) H has only one positive eigenvalue, and (4) U belongs to the connected component of the identity in the group of H-unitary matrices. Applications to linear optics are presented.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
