On the matrix equation $XA+AX^T =0$, II: Type 0-I interactions
The matrix equation $XA + AX^T = 0$ was recently introduced by De Terán and Dopico to study the dimension of congruence orbits. They reduced the study of this equation to a number of special cases, several of which have not been explicitly solved. In this note we obtain an explicit, closed-form solution in the difficult Type 0-I interaction case.

On the matrix equation $XA + AX^T = 0$
The matrix equation $XA + AX^T = 0$, which has relevance to the study of Lie algebras, was recently studied by De Teran and Dopico. They reduced the study of this equation to several special cases and produced explicit solutions in most instances. In this note we obtain an explicit solution in one of the difficult cases, for which only the dimension of the solution space and an algorithm to find a basis of this space were known previously.
