Output only numbers with complex conjugate

2 views (last 30 days)
Lets say I have an Array
a = [1+i*0.1, 1-i*0.1, 5-i*0.1, 10+i*0.2, 10-i*0.2]
which only contains complex numbers. I would like my output to only contains those numbers which have an corresponding complex conjugate inside the array e.g.
out = [1+i*0.1 10+i*0.2]
The output could also just contain the complex conjugate, but not both
Any help is greatly appreciated.

a(ismember(a,conj(a))&imag(a)>=0)

a = [1+1i*0.1, 1-1i*0.1, 5-1i*0.1, 10+1i*0.2, 10-1i*0.2];
b=conj(a);
c=b(ismember(b,a));
d=real(c)+1i*abs(imag(c));
e=unique(d)
e = 1×2
1.0000 + 0.1000i 10.0000 + 0.2000i
(the displaying seems to have some issues, but it is indeed the vector you describe)

You can also use the 'stable' option in unique if you want to preserve the original order.
