    Orthogonal matrix, Unitary matrix and Idempotent matrix

    Orthogonal matrix
    A square matrix is said to be an orthogonal matrix if $A A^{\prime}=I$, where $I$ is the identity matrix.

    Note
    1. $A A^{\prime}=I \Rightarrow A^{-1}=A$
    2. If $A$ and $B$ are orthogonal then $A B$ is also orthogonal.
    3. If $A$ is orthogonal the $A^{-1}$ and $A^{\prime}$ is also orthogonal.

    Unitary matrix
    Let $A$ is a square matrix, and if $A A^?=I$, where $I$ is the identity matrix, then $A$ is said to be a unitary matrix.
    Note:
    1. If $A A^{\text {? }}=1$, then $A^{-1}=A^{\text {? }}$
    2. If $A$ and $B$ are unitary, Then $A B$ is also unitary.
    3. If $A$ is unitary, then $A^{-1}$ and $A^{\prime}$ are also unitary.

    Idempotent matrix
    A square matrix is said to be an idempotent matrix if it satisfies the condition $A^2=A$.
