"adjoint" (conjugate transpose) and "adjugate" (matrix of cofactors) both map to "伴随矩阵" in Chinese, creating potential ambiguity. The previous approach translated adjoint as just "伴随" to avoid the clash, but the preferred solution is to retain "伴随矩阵" and clarify the distinction via a footnote.

Changes

  • Line 299: First definition of adjoint now uses \emph{伴随矩阵}(adjoint) with a footnote:

    本书中 adjoint 译为"伴随矩阵",指矩阵的转置共轭(即各元素取复共轭后再转置)。注意这与线性代数中另一种"伴随矩阵"(adjugate,即由代数余子式构成的矩阵)含义不同。

  • Matrix adjoint references (lines 308, 314, 338, 384, 564): "伴随" → "伴随矩阵" wherever it refers to the conjugate transpose of a matrix
  • Self-adjoint (line 391): "自伴(self-adjoint)" is kept as-is
  • Operator adjoint (lines 701–778): "伴随算符" / "伴随矩阵" in operator context were already correct and are unchanged
