Rank equalities related to the generalized inverse \(A^{(2)}_{T,S}\) with applications (Q2378777)

The authors establish the rank equalities of some matrix expressions and certain block matrices related to the generalized inverse \(A_{T,S}^{(2)}\). They define the block independence in the generalized inverse \(A_{T,S}^{(2)}\) and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for two, three and four ordered matrices to be independent in \(A_{T,S}^{(2)}\), respectively. As special cases, they present the corresponding results on the weighted Moore-Penrose inverse and the Drazin inverse. See \textit{Y.-H. Liu} and \textit{M.-S. Wei} [Acta Math. Sin., Engl.
