A Hermitian matrix is a square matrix that is equal to it's conjugate transpose.
Now let's say I have a Hermitian operator and a function f:
[ H.f ]
The stuff in the square is the complex conjugate as the functions are in general complex. If I do not consider the matrix representation of the function and Hamiltonian, and just consider them functions, then how do I motivate the result that the above equals:
[ f ].H
I have seen this before but I am a bit confused.
Any enlightenment?
