Abstract
Let be some invertible Hermitian or skew-Hermitian matrix. A matrix is called -normal if holds for and its adjoint matrix . In addition, a matrix is called -unitary, if . We develop sparse canonical forms for nondefective (i.e. diagonalizable) -normal matrices and -normal matrices under -unitary (-unitary, respectively) similarity transformations where and is the sip matrix with ones on its anti-diagonal and zeros elsewhere. For both cases we show that these forms exist for an open and dense subset of -normal matrices. This implies that these forms can be seen as topologically 'generic' for -normal matrices since they exist for all such matrices except a nowhere dense subset.
