In mathematics, a jacket matrix is a square symmetric matrix
of order n if its entries are non-zero and real, complex, or from a finite field, and

where In is the identity matrix, and

where T denotes the transpose of the matrix.
In other words, the inverse of a jacket matrix is determined by its element-wise or block-wise inverse. The definition above may also be expressed as:

The jacket matrix is a generalization of the Hadamard matrix; it is a diagonal block-wise inverse matrix.

, then,
. That is, there exists an element-wise inverse.
Example 1.
:![{\displaystyle B={1 \over 4}\left[{\begin{array}{rrrr}1&1&1&1\\[6pt]1&-{1 \over 2}&{1 \over 2}&-1\\[6pt]1&{1 \over 2}&-{1 \over 2}&-1\\[6pt]1&-1&-1&1\\[6pt]\end{array}}\right].}](./7a8cc637797577e763b4f3b81e90622673039c40.svg)
or more general
:![{\displaystyle B={1 \over 4}\left[{\begin{array}{rrrr}{1 \over a}&{1 \over b}&{1 \over b}&{1 \over a}\\[6pt]{1 \over b}&-{1 \over c}&{1 \over c}&-{1 \over b}\\[6pt]{1 \over b}&{1 \over c}&-{1 \over c}&-{1 \over b}\\[6pt]{1 \over a}&-{1 \over b}&-{1 \over b}&{1 \over a}\end{array}}\right],}](./6f6ec5287dc89fda4acd0c8f0f37cd1472fd08d1.svg)
Example 2.
For m x m matrices,
denotes an mn x mn block diagonal Jacket matrix.

Example 3.
Euler's formula:
,
and

Therefore,
.
Also,

.
Finally,
A·B = B·A = I
Example 4.
Consider

.
If

Example 5.
Let

where U, C, A, G denotes the amount of the DNA nucleobases and the matrix
is the block circulant Jacket matrix which leads to the principle of the Antagonism with Nirenberg Genetic Code matrix.
