1. Frobenius inner product

Use the Frobenius inner product to compute ||A||, ||B||, and <A,B> for

A= (1, 2+i,3,i) (A is supposed to be a matrix so a_11=1, a_12=2+i, a_21=3,a_22=i)

and B=(1+i, 0, i,-i) (again B is supposed to be a matrix so b_11=1+i, b_12=0, b_21=i, b_22=-i)

I'm not familiar with Frobenius inner product, so im not sure how to do this problem.

Go to the LaTeX help section in the main page to learn how to properly write mathematics, in particular to write matrices, so that you can make your point crystal clear.

So $A=\begin{pmatrix}1&2+i\\3&i\end{pmatrix}\,,\,\,B=\ begin{pmatrix}1+i&0\\i&-i\end{pmatrix}$ $\Longrightarrow A^*=\overline{A^t}=\begin{pmatrix}1&3\\2-i&-i\end{pmatrix}\,,\,\,B^*=\overline{B^t}=\begin{pma trix}1-i&-i\\0&-i\end{pmatrix}$ , so:

$\langle A,B\rangle:=tr.(AB^*)=tr.\begin{pmatrix}1-i&1-3i\\3-3i&1-3i\end{pmatrix}$ , and also $||A||:=\langle A,A\rangle$ , so now you can do the maths.

3. Isn't it normally

$\|A\|:=\sqrt{\langle A,A\rangle}?$

Of course you´re right. Thanx

Quick question: With the last part of alice8675309's question, how do you take the inner product of two matrices. Namely <A,A>. I completely forgot.

6. I started by opening my Linear Algebra book and then said:

$\displaystyle =\sum_{i=1}^{m}\sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{ij}b_{ij}$

and

$\displaystyle =\sum_{i=1}^{m}\sum_{j=1}^{n}(a_{ij})^2$
