I don't think this is the board you want to be asking that question on as your question has nothing to do with Mathematica. Anyway... I'm not sure what you are asking. I assume "c" and "f" are vectors T is a matrix the ^* denotes the conjugate transpose of a matrix but without any context for the question that is all I can say. Or maybe you are trying to say T is a Hermitian operator which would mean it is a self adjoint matrix.
