Review text

Let A be an \(n\times n\) matrix over a field of characteristic 2. The author uses the structure theory for pairs consisting of an inner product and a self-adjoint mapping for that inner product to prove the main theorem: If n is odd, than A is similar to an s-symmetric matrix (one symmetric around the diagonal from lower left to upper right). If n is even, this holds iff the elementary divisors of A that are odd powers of separable polynomials occur with even multiplicity.
