Abstract:
We discuss possible forms of square matrices whose rows are pairwise orthogonal and the same is true of their columns. This discussion is applied to the problem of conditions under which a nonsingular binormal matrix is unitoid. A square matrix $A$ is said to be binormal if the matrices $AA^*$ and $A^*A$ commute. A square matrix is said to be unitoid if it can be brought to diagonal form by a (Hermitian) congruence.
Key words and phrases:normal matrices, binormal matrices, congruences, cosquares, unitoid matrices.
