| Let ''V'' be a [[vector space]], equipped with a [[Symplectic vector space|symplectic form]] <math>\Omega</math>. Such a space must be even-dimensional. A linear map <math>A:\; V \mapsto V</math> is called '''a skew-Hamiltonian operator''' with respect to <math>\Omega</math> if the form <math>x, y \mapsto \Omega(A(x), y)</math> is skew-symmetric.

| | |
| Choose a basis <math> e_1, ... e_{2n}</math> in ''V'', such that <math>\Omega</math> is written as <math>\sum_i e_i \wedge e_{n+i}</math>. Then a linear operator is skew-Hamiltonian with respect to <math>\Omega</math> if and only if its matrix ''A'' satisfies <math>A^T J = J A</math>, where ''J'' is the skew-symmetric matrix
