Weighted Moore-Penrose, Drazin, and group inverses of the Kronecker product \(A \otimes B\), and some applications (Q5961576): Difference between revisions

Let \(A\in \mathbb{C}^{m\times n}\), and \(M\) and \(N\) be positive definite matrices of order \(m\) and \(n\), respectively. The matrix \(A^+_{MN}\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times m}\) satisfying \(AA^+_{MN}A=A\), \(A^+_{MN} AA^+_{MN}= A^+_{MN}\), \((MAA^+_{MN})^*= MAA^+_{MN}\), \((NA^+_{MN}A)^*= NA^+_{MN}A\) is called the weighted Moore-Penrose inverse of \(A\). The author shows that: \((A\otimes B)^+_{C,D}= A^+_{MN}\otimes B^+_{PQ}\), where \(B\in\mathbb{C}^{p\times q}\), \(C=M\otimes P\), \(D=N\otimes \mathbb{Q}\), and \(P\) and \(Q\) are appropriate positive definite matrices. Similar results for the Drazin inverse \(A_d\) and the group inverse \(A_g\) are given. Using these results the determinant forms for the projectors \(AA^+_{MN}\), \(A^+_{MN}A\), \(A_dA\) and \(A_gA\) are deduced.
