I am studying linear algebra by myself, and I came across the need to prove the following, for adjoints of linear maps:

  • ($f^\dagger)^\dagger=f$
  • $(f\circ g)^\dagger=g^\dagger\circ f^\dagger$
  • $\langle v|fw\rangle=\langle f^\dagger v|w\rangle$

    Thank you very much!

      Do you know the definition of the adjoint? I strongly recommend that you do these yourself, because they're very easy. If you still can't do them, tell us what you have tried.2012-10-26

      Thank you. Off course, the first 2 are obvious if I accept the third. But if I don't, I don't know where to start.2012-10-26

      The third is usually the *definition* of the adjoint. What is your definition?2012-10-26
