Linear Algebra Appl. 174, 145-151 (1992).

Author’s summary: A complex matrix \(A\) is termed Re-positive definite if the real part of \(x^*Ax\) is positive for every nonzero complex vector \(x\). This paper is concerned with constructing complex Re-positive definite matrices and solving the following matrix inverse problem: Given complex matrices \(X\) and \(B\), find the set of all complex Re-positive definite matrices \(A\) such that \(AX=B\).
