## HERMITIAN Matrix Hermitian (Conjugate Transpose) Operator

Section: Mathematical Operators

### Usage

Computes the Hermitian of the argument (a 2D matrix). The syntax for its use is

      y = a';

where `a` is a `M x N` numerical matrix. The output `y` is a numerical matrix of the same type of size `N x M`. This operator is the conjugating transpose, which is different from the transpose operator `.'` (which does not conjugate complex values).

### Function Internals

The Hermitian operator is defined simply as

where `y_ij` is the element in the `i`th row and `j`th column of the output matrix `y`.

### Examples

A simple transpose example:

    --> A = [1,2,0;4,1,-1]

    A =

      1  2  0
      4  1 -1

    --> A'

    ans =

      1  4
      2  1
      0 -1

    -->
    quit

Here, we use a complex matrix to demonstrate how the Hermitian operator conjugates the entries.

    --> A = [1+i,2-i]

    A =

        1.0000 +  1.0000i    2.0000 -  1.0000i

    --> A.'

    ans =

        1.0000 +  1.0000i
        2.0000 -  1.0000i

    -->
    quit
