  • 1) Let $E$ a vector space of finite dimension with scalar product $left<cdot,cdotright>$. We defined the adjoint of $f:Eto E$ the function $g$ defined as $$left<f(x),yright>=left<x,g(y)right>.$$

Let $S$ s.t. $left<x,yright>=x^TSy$. Let $F$ the matrix of $f$ and $G$ the matrix of $g$. If $S=I$, then
$$left<Fx,yright>=x^TF^Ty=left<x,F^Tyright>$$
and thus $G=F^T$. But if $Sneq I$, we have $$left<Fx,yright>=x^T F^T S y,$$
and how to get $G$ s.t. $left<x,Gyright>=left<Fx,yright>$ ?




  • 2) We define in a more general way, the adjoint of $fin L(E,F)$ as $gin L(F^*,E^*)$ s.t. $g=fcirc u$. What is the link between the adjoint defined in 1) and the adjoint defined in 2) ?

    Instead of < and > it is better to use langle and rangle.

    Please try to make the titles of your questions more informative. For example, Why does $a<b$ imply $a+c<b+c$? is much more useful for other users than A question about inequality. From How can I ask a good question?: Make your title as descriptive as possible. In many cases one can actually phrase the title as the question, at least in such a way so as to be comprehensible to an expert reader. You can find more tips for choosing a good title here.

A change of basis is not necessary, just take $G = S^-1 F^T S$:
$$langle Fx,yrangle = x^TF^TSy = x^TSS^-1F^TSy = langle x,S^-1F^TSyrangle.$$

    1) There is a basis s.t. $S$ is congruent to $I$ (i.e. there is a matrix $P$ invertible s.t. $S=P^TP$. Let denote $A=P^-1FP$ the matrix of $f$ in the new basis.



    Then $$langle APx,Pyrangle= x^TP^TA^TPy=langle Px,A^TPyrangle,$$
    and thus $F^T$ is the matrix of $g$ in the new basis.
    $$F=PAP^-1quad textandquad G=PA^TP^-1.$$



    2) You have that $$leftlangle u(x),frightrangle_F,F^*=leftlangle x,u^T(f)rightrangle_E,E^*.$$
