A, B and P are all squared matrices of the same order ($nXn$).



It is given that:



$PP^{T}=I$



$B^{T}B=I$



$A=P^{T}BP$



Which of the following is correct:



$(1) A=B$



$(2) AA^{T}=I$



$(3) (PB)^{-1}=(PB)^{T}$



I have started with (2). This is what I've done:



$(P^{T}BP)(P^{T}BP)$



$P^{T}BB^{T}P$



Something is not right. Can I say that



$B^{T}B=BB^{T}$ ?



According to the book, (2) and (3) are correct while (1) is not. I can't figure out why.

To prove that (1) is false I will write a counterexample in terms of linear transformations instead of matrices. Let $P(x_1,x_2,cdots,x_n)=(x_1,0,cdots,0)$, $A=0$ and $B=I-P$. Then $A neq B$ but $A=P^{T}BP$.



(2) follows from $AA^{T}=(P^{T}BP)(P^{T}BP)^{T}=I$ because $(MN)^{T}=N^{T}M^{T}$. [Observe that $P^{T}P=I$ and $BB^{T}=I$]. To prove (3) it is enough to show that $(PB)(PB)^{T}=I$ which is true since LHS $=B^{T}P^{T}PB=B^{T}B=I$.
