Rank equalities related to a class of outer generalized inverse

Abstract

In 2012, Drazin introduced a class of outer generalized inverse in a ring R, the (b,c)-inverse of a for a, b, c ? R and denoted by a||(b,c). In this paper, rank equalities of AkA||(B,C)- A||(B,C)Ak and (A*)kA||(B,C)- A||(B,C)(A*)k are obtained. As applications, weinvestigate equivalent conditions for the equalities (A*)kA||(B,C) = A||(B,C)(A*)k and AkA||(B,C) = A||(B,C)Ak. As corollaries we obtain rank equalities related to the Moore-Penrose inverse, the core inverse, and the Drazin inverse. The paper finishes with some rank equalities involving different e
