AHDOUT, Shahla  and  ROTHMAN, Sheldon. REDUCTION TO NORMAL FORM OF A SELF-ADJOINT LINEAR TRANSFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO A PSEUDO-UNITARY OR A PSEUDO-EUCLIDEAN INNER PRODUCT. Rev.colomb.mat. [online]. 2006, vol.40, n.1, pp.15-29. ISSN 0034-7426.

We provide a self-contained and constructive approach to reduce a self-adjoint linear transformation defined on a pseudo-unitary (resp., pseudo- euclidean) space to a canonical form.

Keywords : Pseudo-unitary; pseudo-euclidean; self-adjoint; orthogonal.
