It is shown that the coneigenvalues of a matrix, when properly defined (in a way different from the one commonly used in the literature), obey relations similar to the classical inequalities between the (ordinary) eigenvalues and singular values. Several interesting spectral properties of conjugate-normal matrices are indicated. This matrix class plays the same role in the theory of unitary congruences as the class of normal matrices plays in the theory of unitary similarities. Bibliography: 5 titles.
