a)What is definiteness of matrix $A+A^{*}$ if matrix $A$ is defined
$$A= begin{bmatrix}
-1 & 1 & 3 \
1 & -3 & -2 \
-1 & 0 & -3 \

b)Using conclusion from a), prove that real part of all matrix $A$ eigenvalues is negative. $$--------------------------------------$$ Is $A^{*}$ conjugate-transpose matrix? If it is, it should look like matrix A in a conjugate-transpose . Because matrix $A$ doesn't have complex elements, is then matrix $A+A^{*}=begin{bmatrix}

    Yes, it says exactly that. So, here I get $begin{bmatrix} -2 & 2 & 2 \ 2 & -6 & -2 \ 2 & -2 & -6 \ end{bmatrix}$ So I have a new matrix that is symmetric..with all diagonal elements lower than 0. I can use one more method, Sylvester's criterion to see if it is negative definite. But how can I prove b) ?

$begingroup$

a) We can calculate the eigenvalues of $A+A^*$ or check the principle minors to find it is negative definite.



That means that for any $xne 0$ we have $x^* (A+A^*)x <0$.



b) Since $(A+A^*)$ is negative definite, we have for every eigenvector $v$ of $A$ with eigenvalue $lambda$:
$$v^*(A+A^*)v = v^*Av +(Av)^*v = v^*lambda v + (lambda v)^*v = lambda v^2 + lambda^* v^2 = 2Re(lambda) v^2 < 0$$
Therefore $Re(lambda)<0$.
