Abstract By generalizing subspaces T, T ⊥ found in [G. Chen, G. Liu, Y. Xue, Perturbation analysis of the generalized Bott–Duffin inverse of L-zero matrices, Linear Multilinear Algebra 51 (2003) 11–20] to subspaces T, S ⊂ C n , for which T ⊕ S = C n , we (+) get that if AT ∩ S = 0, A T,S = PT,S (A PT,S + PS,T )+ is (PT,S A PT,S )+ , then S = T ⊥ , that is to say A is a T -zero matrix (i.e. AT ∩ T ⊥ = 0). c 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction In their seminal paper [2], Bott and Duffin introduced and widely used an important tool called the “constrained inverse” of the matrix. This inverse is called the Bott–Duffin inverse. Ben Israel and Greville in [1] mentioned many properties and applications. Later, Chen in his paper [5] defined the generalized Bott–Duffin inverse and gave some properties and applications. G. Chen, G. Liu, Y. Xue in papers [3,4,6] defined L-zero matrices in order to simplify the expression for the generalized Bott–Duffin inverse. We adopt the same notation for the generalized inverses of matrices as that in [1]. In this work, we will discuss a general case of the generalized Bott–Duffin inverse. Consider the special inverse (+)

Let {ε1 , ε2 , . . . , εr } be an orthonormal basis of T , and {εr +1 , εr +2 , . . . , εn } be an orthonormal basis of S. Let W = (ε1 , ε2 , . . . , εn ) and define matrix B by B11 B12 B11 B12 AW = W B = W = (ε1 , ε2 , . . . , εn ) B21 B22 B21 B22 with B11 ∈ C r ×r . ∗ Corresponding author.

Lemma 2 ([3]). Let A ∈ C n×n , T be a subspace of C n with orthonormal basis {ε1 , ε2 , . . . , εr }, and A T PT (A PT + PT ⊥ )+ . Then the following statements are equivalent:
=
(1) AT ∩ T ⊥ = {0}, (+) (2) A T = (PT A PT )+ , (3) rank(AU ) = rank(U ∗ AU ), where U = (ε1 , ε2 , . . . , εr ). (+)
Theorem 1. If AT ∩ S = 0 and A T,S = (PT,S A PT,S )+ , then S = T ⊥ (i.e. the case of the generalized Bott–Duffin inverse). B12 11 Proof. From PT,S W = (ε1 , ε2 , . . . , εr , 0, . . . , 0) and AW = W BB21 B22 , it follows that 0 W −1 0 0 0 PS,T = (0, . . . , 0, εr +1 , εr +2 , . . . , εn )W −1 = W W −1 0 In−r B11 B12 I 0 0 0 A PT,S + PS,T = W W −1 + W W −1 W −1 W r B21 B22 0 0 0 In−r B11 0 = W W −1 B21 In−r I 0 B11 B12 I 0 W −1 W PT,S A PT,S = W r W −1 W r W −1 0 0 B21 B22 0 0 B11 0 W −1 . = W 0 0 PT,S = (ε1 , ε2 , . . . , εr , 0, . . . , 0)W −1 = W

From AT ∩ S = 0, it follows that PS,T A PT,S = 0. And PS,T + PT,S = I ; thus (I − PT,S )A PT,S = 0, i.e. PT,S A PT,S = A PT,S . Hence B21 = 0. Let E = (A PT,S + PS,T ). From PT,S (A PT,S + PS,T )+ = (PT,S A PT,S )+ = (A PT,S )+
