We present a procedure which enables the computation and the description of structures of isotropy subgroups of the group of complex orthogonal matrices with respect to the action of *congruence on Hermitian matrices. A key ingredient in our proof is an algorithm giving solutions of a certain rectangular block (complex-alternating) upper triangular Toeplitz matrix equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Cayley transform of a matrix A , C (A) = (I + A) − 1 (I − A) , has been investigated in the contexts of skew-symmetry, eigenvalue mapping and as a factorization technique for several matrix positivity classes. Here, we extend the discussion to Cayley transforms of almost skew-Hermitian matrices, positive definite matrices, semipositive matrices, as well as subclasses of the M -matrices, H -matrices and their inverses.
