Based on earlier works on normal matrices, the notions of hyponormal and strongly hyponormal matrices are introduced. A full characterization of such matrices is given and it is shown how those matrices are related to different concepts of normal matrices in degenerate inner product spaces. Finally, the existence of invariant semidefinite subspaces for strongly hyponormal matrices is discussed. 4961 http://uri.gbv.de/document/gvk:ppn:601727614 5051 510 5550 adjoint 5550 Degenerate inner product 5550 H-hyponormal 5550 invariant semidefinite subspace 5550 linear relations 5550 strongly H-hyponormal
