RE: Difference between x' and x.' ?

[Schirmacher, Rolf]

x' is the hermitian (i.e. complex conjugate transpose) while x.' is the
transpose.

See for some simple scalar:

octave.exe> x=1+2i
x =  1 + 2i
octave.exe> x'
ans =  1 - 2i
octave.exe> x.'
ans =  1 + 2i

For real valued x, there is no difference, for complex valued x, the
difference is important.

Hope that helps,

Rolf
