Some representations of Moore-Penrose inverse for the sum of two operators and the extension of the Fill-Fishkind formula (Q2167941)

\textit{J. A. Fill} and \textit{D. E. Fishkind} [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 21, No. 2, 629--635 (2000; Zbl 0949.15009)] exhibited a relationship, called the Fill-Fishkind formula, between the Moore-Penrose inverse of the sum of two square matrices \(A\) and \(B\) and the Moore-Penrose inverses of the individual terms. \textit{M. L. Arias} et al. [Linear Algebra Appl. 467, 86--99 (2015; Zbl 1302.47002)] extended the formula to the setting of Hilbert spaces. Given \(A\in B(H, K)\), if there exists a Hilbert space \(H_A\) and operators \(G_A\in B(H, H_A)\) and \(F_A\in B(H_A, K)\) such that \(G_A\) is right invertible, \(F_A\) is left invertible and \(A = F_A G_A\), then one says that \(A = F_A G_A\) is a full-rank decomposition of \(A\). In this paper, the authors present a representation of the Moore-Penrose inverse of the sum of linear operators \(A + B\) acting on a Hilbert space under some conditions. Based on the full-rank decomposition of an operator, they show that the extension of the Fill-Fishkind formula for two closed-range operators remains valid. They also provide some representations of the Moore-Penrose inverse of a 2-by-2 block operator with disjoint ranges.
