Abstract: Let J = I-r circle plus -In-r, 0 < r < n. An n x n complex matrix A is said to be J-Hermitian if JA = A*J. An extension of the classical theory of Courant and Fischer on the Rayleigh ratio of Hermitian matrices is stated for J-Hermitian matrices. Applications to the theory of small oscilations of a mechanical system are presented
