Extreme ranks of a linear quaternion matrix expression subject to triple quaternion matrix equations with applications (Q2470182): Difference between revisions

Maximal and minimal ranks of the quaternion matrix \(C_4 - A_4XB_4\) are studied, where \(X\) is a variable quaternion matrix subject to the quaternion equations \(A_1X = C_1\), \(XB_2 = C_2\), \(A_3XB_3 = C_3\). As a corollary necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of a system of quaternion matrix equations are obtained. Extremal ranks of the generalized Schur complement of a certain matrix (under some linear constraints) are also studied. The paper generalizes some previous results in this area.
