VTRMC 1979 Problem 3

    Let AA be an n×nn\times n nonsingular matrix with complex elements, and let A‾\overline{A} be its complex conjugate. Let B=AA‾+IB = A\overline{A}+I , where II is the n×nn\times n identity matrix. (a) Prove or disprove: A−1BA=B‾A^{-1}BA = \overline{B} . (b) Prove or disprove: the determinant of AA‾+IA\overline{A}+I is real.
