a b s t r a c tThis paper characterizes (P, Q , η)-reflexive matrices, showing that a (P, Q , η)-reflexive matrix can be represented in terms of k matrices A a,b ∈ C ma×n b , where a + b = η(mod k), m a and n b are dimensions of the τ a -and τ b -eigenspaces of P and Q , respectively. A general solution of Procrustes problems of (P, Q , η)-reflexive matrices is presented in terms of lower-order matrices A 1,η−1 , . . . , A η−1,1 , A η,k , A η+1,k−1 , . . . , A k,η under the condition that P and Q are unitary.Crown
