Rank equalities related to outer inverses of matrices and applications
Yongge Tian · Linear and Multilinear Algebra · 2001
A matrix X is called an outer inverse for a matrix A if XAX=X. In this paper, we present some basic rank equalities for difference and sum of outer inverses of a matrix, and apply them to characterize various equalities related to outer inverses, Moore-Penrose inverses, group inverses, Drazin inverses and weighted Moore-Penrose inverses of matrices.
