On classification of normal operators in real spaces with indefinite scalar product (Q677803)

This paper is concerned with real finite dimensional vector spaces with indefinite scalar products (non-singular symmetric bilinear form) having \(v_-\) negative and \(v_+\) positive square terms. A classification is presented of operators that are normal with respect to these indefinite scalar products when \(\min \{v_-, v_+\} =1,2\). The approach used here was developed in papers by Gohberg and Reichstein, and the authors.
