One more way of denoting the conjugate transpose?

Why aren't "*T" listed as a possible notation for the conjugate transpose? This notation, which I've previously encountered in statistical signal processing, is presumably more intuitive, since it really is just a combination of conjugate and transpose. --Fredrik Orderud 00:57, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I never encountered the notation as you say, . I'd say it looks a bit clumsy. Besides, note that in this article (and in many other places) they use the bar for the conjugate, so then your notation might need to be changed to Failed to parse (unknown function "\barA"): {\displaystyle {\barA}^{T}} .
If you think the notation you mention is in widespread use, and its addition would be helpful, you could add it to the list of alternative notations, next to . But again, the * thing might mean different things to different people. Oleg Alexandrov 01:46, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
