Abstract. In this study, firstly, we will present some properties of hyperbolic numbers. Then, we will intro-
duce hyperbolic matrices, which are matrices with hyperbolic number entries. Additionally, we will examine the
algebraic properties of these matrices and reveal its difference from other matrix structures such as real, dual, and
complex matrices. As a result of comparing the results found in this work with real, dual, and complex matrices, it
will be revealed that there are similarities in additive properties and differences in some multiplicative properties.
Finally, we will define some special hyperbolic matrices and give their properties and relations with real matrices.
1. Introduction
Hyperbolic numbers are an extension of real numbers which can be defined as
H = R[h] = {x0 + x1 h : x0 , x1 ∈ R, h2 = 1, h < R}.
In the literature, these numbers are also called split-complex numbers, double numbers, or perplex numbers. Hy-
perbolic numbers are being studied at increasing popularity by many researchers because of their substantial algebraic
structures and properties [2, 6, 8]. Beauregard and Suryanarayan examined the Pythagorean triples in terms of hyper-
bolic numbers [3]. Gutin has studied the matrix decomposition over hyperbolic numbers [7]. Motter and Rosa studied
Calculus on hyperbolic numbers [9]. Studies on matrices, which have been examined with different number systems
in the literature, can be seen in [1, 4, 5, 10, 12].
For every h1 = x0 + x1 h and h2 = y0 + y1 h hyperbolic numbers, equality, addition and multiplication are defined by
h1 = h2 iff x0 = y0 and x1 = y1 ,
h1 + h2 = (x0 + y0 ) + (x1 + y1 )h,
h1 h2 = (x0 y0 + x1 y1 ) + (x0 y1 + x1 y0 )h,

2. Hyperbolic Matrices
Let Rm m
n be the set of all m × n real matrices. It is well known that Rn is a vector space with ordinary matrix addition
m
and the matrix multiplication by a scalar over R. Let Hn be the set of m × n matrices with hyperbolic number entries.
A hyperbolic matrix can be shown as follows:
a11 + ha∗11 a12 + ha∗12 . . . a1n + ha∗1n a11 a12 . . . a1n a11 a∗12 . . . a∗1n

where A and A∗ are m × n real matrices. Note that every hyperbolic matrix can be written as a combination of two real
matrices. Thus, the set of hyperbolic matrices can be given
H = {Â = A + hA∗ : A, A∗ ∈ Rm
n , h = 1, h < R}.

Theorem 2.5. Let Â, B̂, Ĉ ∈ Hm n be hyperbolic matrices and λ1 , λ2 ∈ H be hyperbolic numbers, then the following
properties are satisfied:
(1) Â + B̂ = B̂ + Â,
(2) Â + ( B̂ + Ĉ) = (Â + B̂) + Ĉ,
(3) Â + 0H = Â,
(4) λ1 (Â + B̂) = λ1 Â + λ1 B̂,
(5) (λ1 + λ2 )Â = λ1 Â + λ2 Â,
(6) (λ1 .λ2 )Â = λ1 (λ2 Â),
(7) The additive inverse of  = A + hA∗ is − = −A − hA∗ .
Proof. Let  = A + hA∗ , B̂ = B + hB∗ , and Ĉ = C + hC ∗ .
(1) Â + B̂ = A + hA∗ + B + hB∗ = (A + B) + h(A∗ + B∗ ) = (B + A) + h(B∗ + A∗ ) = B + hB∗ + A + hA∗ = B̂ + Â.
(2) Â + ( B̂ + Ĉ) = A + hA∗ + (B + hB∗ + C + hC ∗ ) = (A + hA∗ + B + hB∗ ) + C + hC ∗ = (Â + B̂) + Ĉ.
(3) Â + 0H = A + hA∗ + 0 + h0 = (A + 0) + h(A∗ + 0) = A + hA∗ = Â.
(4) λ1 (Â + B̂) = λ1 (A + hA∗ + B + hB∗ ) = λ1 (A + hA∗ ) + λ1 (B + hB∗ ) = λ1 Â + λ1 B̂.
(5) (λ1 + λ2 )Â = (λ1 + λ2 )(A + hA∗ ) = λ1 (A + hA∗ ) + λ2 (A + hA∗ ) = λ1 Â + λ2 Â.
(6) (λ1 .λ2 )Â = (λ1 .λ2 )(A + hA∗ ) = λ1 .(λ2 (A + hA∗ )) = λ1 (λ2 Â).
(7) (A + hA∗ ) + (−A − hA∗ ) = (A − A) + h(A∗ − A∗ ) = 0H .

If we represent these matrices as a combination of two real matrices  = A + hA∗ and B̂ = B + hB∗ , then we can obtain
the multiplication Â. B̂ in the following form
Â. B̂ = (A.B + A∗ B∗ ) + h(A.B∗ + A∗ B).

Theorem 2.8. The following properties are provided:
(1) If  ∈ Hmp , B̂ ∈ Hnp , Ĉ ∈ Hnr , then Â( B̂Ĉ) = ( B̂)Ĉ.
(2) If  ∈ Hmp , B̂, Ĉ ∈ Hnp , then Â( B̂ + Ĉ) =  B̂ + ÂĈ.
(3) If Â, B̂ ∈ Hmp , Ĉ ∈ Hnp , then (Â + B̂)Ĉ = ÂĈ + B̂Ĉ.
(4) If λ ∈ R, Â, ∈ Hmp , B̂ ∈ Hnp , then λ( B̂) = (λÂ) B̂ = Â(λ B̂).
Proof. Straightforward. □
Corollary 2.9. The set of Hnn is a ring with matrix addition and matrix multiplication.
Definition 2.10. If there is a hyperbolic matrix Ĉ satisfying the equation ÂĈ = Ĉ Â = I, then Ĉ is called the inverse of
Â, and additionally  is called an invertible hyperbolic matrix.
Theorem 2.11. If A and A∗ are two real n × n invertible matrices, then inverse of the matrix  = A + hA∗ is
Â−1 = (A − A∗ A−1 A∗ )−1 + h(A∗ − A(A∗ )−1 A)−1 .
Proof. Since the multiplication of matrices is not commutative, the equation must be provided from both the right and
the left sides. Let C + hC ∗ be the inverse of the matrix  = A + hA∗ , then
(A + hA∗ )(C + hC ∗ ) = I,
(AC + A C ∗ ) + h(AC ∗ + A∗C) = I + h0
∗
in order to obtain this equality, AC + A∗C ∗ = I and AC ∗ + A∗C = 0 equations must be provided. Thus, it can be seen
that C = A−1 − A−1 A∗C ∗ and C = −(A∗ )−1 AC ∗ . From last two equation, we have
A−1 − A−1 A∗C ∗ = −(A∗ )−1 AC ∗
A−1 A∗C ∗ − (A∗ )−1 AC ∗ = A−1
(A−1 A∗ − (A∗ )−1 A)C ∗ = A−1
C ∗ = (A∗ − A(A∗ )−1 A)−1 .
Similarly, from equations AC+A∗C ∗ = I and AC ∗ +A∗C = 0, we can obtain C ∗ = (A∗ )−1 −(A∗ )−1 AC and C ∗ = −A−1 A∗C.
Then, we get
(A∗ )−1 − (A∗ )−1 AC = −A−1 A∗C
(A∗ )−1 AC − A−1 A∗C = (A∗ )−1
((A∗ )−1 A − A−1 A∗ )C = (A∗ )−1
C = (A − A∗ A−1 A∗ )−1 .

Definition 3.4. A square hyperbolic matrix  is called a nilpotent hyperbolic matrix if Âq = 0. Also, q is called index
of the matrix.
Definition 3.5. A square hyperbolic matrix  is called a symmetric hyperbolic matrix if ÂT = Â.
Theorem 3.6. Â = A + hA∗ is a symmetric hyperbolic matrix iff A and A∗ are real symmetric matrices.
Proof. If  is a symmetric matrix, then
ÂT = Â ⇐⇒ (A + hA∗ )T = A + hA∗
⇐⇒ AT + h(A∗ )T = A + hA∗
⇐⇒ AT = A and (A∗ )T = A∗ .

Proof. If  is a skew symmetric matrix, then
ÂT = −Â ⇐⇒ (A + hA∗ )T = −A − hA∗
⇐⇒ AT + h(A∗ )T = −A − hA∗
⇐⇒ AT = −A and (A∗ )T = −A∗ .

Example 3.9. Â = is a skew symmetric hyperbolic matrix. Indeed, it can be obviously seen that

ÂT = −Â.
Definition 3.10. A square hyperbolic matrix  is called a Hermitian hyperbolic matrix if (ÂT ) = Â, where  = A − hA∗
is the conjugate of Â.
Theorem 3.11. Â = A + hA∗ is a Hermitian hyperbolic matrix iff A is a real symmetric hyperbolic matrix and A∗ is
real skew symmetric matrix.
Proof. If  is a Hermitian hyperbolic matrix, then
(ÂT ) = Â ⇐⇒ (A + hA∗ )T = A + hA∗
⇐⇒ AT + h(A∗ )T = A + hA∗
⇐⇒ AT − h(A∗ )T = A + hA∗
⇐⇒ AT = A and (A∗ )T = −A∗ .

Definition 3.12. A square hyperbolic matrix  is called a skew Hermitian hyperbolic matrix if (ÂT ) = −Â.
Theorem 3.13. Â = A + hA∗ is a skew Hermitian hyperbolic matrix iff A is a real skew symmetric hyperbolic matrix
and A∗ is real symmetric matrix.
Proof. If  is a skew Hermitian hyperbolic matrix, then
(ÂT ) = −Â ⇐⇒ (A + hA∗ )T = −A − hA∗
⇐⇒ AT + h(A∗ )T = −A − hA∗
⇐⇒ AT − h(A∗ )T = −A − hA∗
⇐⇒ AT = −A and (A∗ )T = A∗ .

Definition 3.14. A square hyperbolic matrix  is called an involute hyperbolic matrix if Â2 = I.
Theorem 3.15. If  = A + hA∗ is an involute hyperbolic matrix, then A2 + (A∗ )2 = I and (A∗ )n = (−1)n A−1 (−A∗ )n A for
n ∈ Z+ .
Proof. Let  be an involute hyperbolic matrix, then from the equation (A + hA∗ )2 = I we get,
(A2 + (A∗ )2 ) + h(AA∗ + A∗ A) = I + h0
A2 + (A∗ )2 = I and AA∗ + A∗ A = 0.
Since AA∗ + A∗ A = 0, it is clear to see that AA∗ = −A∗ A. Thus, from the last equation desiring result is obtained as
follows:
A∗ = −A−1 A∗ A
(A∗ )2 = A−1 (A∗ )2 A
(A∗ )3 = −A−1 (A∗ )3 A
..
.
(A∗ )n = (−1)n A−1 (−A∗ )n A.

Definition 3.16. Let B̂ = B + hB∗ and Ĉ = C + hC ∗ be two n × n hyperbolic matrices. If B̂Ĉ = Ĉ B̂, then these matrices
are called commutative hyperbolic matrices.
Theorem 3.17. If B̂ and Ĉ are commutative, then B + B∗ and C + C ∗ matrices are real commutative matrices.
Proof. Let B̂Ĉ = Ĉ B̂, then
(BC + B∗C ∗ ) + h(BC ∗ + B∗C) = (CB + C ∗ B∗ ) + h(CB∗ + C ∗ B).
We obtain equalities BC + B∗C ∗ = CB + C ∗ B∗ and BC ∗ + B∗C = CB∗ + C ∗ B. If we add these two equations side by
side, then
B(C + C ∗ ) + B∗ (C + C ∗ ) = (C + C ∗ )B + (C + C ∗ )B∗
(B + B∗ )(C + C ∗ ) = (C + C ∗ )(B + B∗ ).
□
Definition 3.18. Let  = A + hA∗ be a square hyperbolic matrix. If ÂT  = ÂÂT = I, then  = A + hA∗ is called unitary
hyperbolic matrix.
Theorem 3.19. Let  = A + hA∗ be a unitary hyperbolic matrix. Then, A + A∗ is a real unitary matrix.
From the last equation, we obtain AAT − A∗ (A∗ )T = I and A∗ AT − A(A∗ )T = 0. Therefore, if we sum these equations
up side by side, then
(A + A∗ )AT − (A + A∗ )(A∗ )T = I
(A + A∗ )(AT − (A∗ )T ) = I.

4. Conclusion
In this study, we examined the properties of hyperbolic matrices. Using these properties, we have defined special
hyperbolic matrices and revealed some of the properties they provide. Thus, the difference between these matrices
and other matrix structures is regularly considered. Thus, it is aimed to form a basis for further studies on hyperbolic
numbers and matrices.
