\begin{definition}[Hermitian]
\label{definition:hermitian-functional}
Let $E$ be a vector space over $\real$, $*: \complex(E) \to \complex(E)$ be the canonical complex conjugation map, and $\phi \in \hom(\complex(E); \complex)$, then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\phi|_E \in \hom(E; \real)$.
\item For each $x \in E$, $\dpn{x, \phi}{\complex(E)} = \ol{\dpn{x^*, \phi}{\complex(E)}}$.
\end{enumerate}
If the above holds, then $\phi$ is \textbf{Hermitian}.
