Abstract

This paper proposes the density and characteristic functions of a general matrix quadratic form $X^*AX$, when $A = A^*$, $X$ has a matrix multivariate elliptical distribution and $X^*$ denotes the usual conjugate transpose of $X$. These results are obtained for real normed division algebras. With particular cases we obtained the density and characteristic functions of matrix quadratic forms for matrix multivariate normal, Pearson type VII, $t$ and Cauchy distributions.
