1 Introduction
Throughout this paper, let \({\mathcal {R}}\) be a ring with the unit 1. The sets of all idempotents (\(p^2=p\)) and invertible elements of \({\mathcal {R}}\) will be denoted by \({\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) and \({\mathcal {R}}^{-1}\), respectively.
Let \(a\in {\mathcal {R}}\) and let \(p,q\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \). An element \(b\in {\mathcal {R}}\) is the image-kernel (p, q)-inverse of a if
If the image-kernel (p, q)-inverse b exists, it is unique [6] and denoted by \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\). We recall the reader that the image-kernel (p, q)-inverse of Kantún-Montiel [6] coincides with the (p, q, l)-outer generalized inverse of Cao and Xue [1]. For more details about the image-kernel (p, q)-inverses, see [9, 11, 12].
The special case of the image-kernel (p, q)-inverse is the (p, q)-outer generalized inverse. Precisely, for \(p,q\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \), the (p, q)-outer generalized inverse of a is a unique element \(b\in {\mathcal {R}}\) (in the case when it exists) satisfying
In this case, we write \(b=a^{(2)}_{p,q}\) [4]. Outer generalized inverses can be found in [3, 5, 8, 13].
If the image-kernel (p, q)-inverse b of a satisfies the equations \(a=aba\), then b is a reflexive image-kernel (p, q)-inverse of a which will be denoted by \(a^{(1,\times )}_{p,q}\). Evidently, \(a^{(1,\times )}_{p,q}\) is unique if it exists.
An equivalent condition for the existence of the image-kernel (p, q)-inverse without explicit reference to ideals is given in the following lemma.
Lemma 1.1
[11, Theorem 2.1] Let \(p,q\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) and let \(a\in {\mathcal {R}}\). Then, the following statements are equivalent:
-
(i)
\(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) exists,
-
(ii)
there exists some \(b\in {\mathcal {R}}\) such that
$$\begin{aligned} b=pb,\quad bap=p, \quad bq=0,\quad 1-q=(1-q)ab. \end{aligned}$$
Observe that the element b in the part (ii) of Lemma 1.1 satisfies \(b=a^{\times }_{p,q}\).
An involution \(a\mapsto a^*\) in a ring \({\mathcal {R}}\) is an anti-isomorphism of degree 2, that is,
for any \(a, b\in {\mathcal {R}}\). An element \(a\in {\mathcal {R}}\) is self-adjoint if \(a^*=a\). An element \(q\in {\mathcal {R}}\) is a projection if it is self-adjoint idempotent (\(q^*=q=q^2\)).
Let \(p\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \). The range projection of p is a projection \(p^\bot \) such that \(p^\bot p=p\) and \(pp^\bot =p^\bot \) [7]. In a ring \({\mathcal {R}}\) with involution, \(p^\bot =p\) for any projection p.
Lemma 1.2
([7, Theorem 2.1]) Let p be an idempotent in a ring \({\mathcal {R}}\) with involution. Then, the following conditions are equivalent:
-
(i)
\(p+p^*-1\) is invertible in \({\mathcal {R}}\).
-
(ii)
\(p^\bot \) and \((p^*)^\bot \) exist.
The range projections are unique, given by the formulae
If a ring \({\mathcal {R}}\) with involution has the GN-property (\(1 + x^*x\in {\mathcal {R}}^{-1}\) for all \(x\in {\mathcal {R}}\)), then every idempotent has a unique range projection.
Lemma 1.3
([2, Lemma 2.2]) Let \(p\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) such that \(p^\bot \) exists. If \(f_p=1+p-p^\bot \), then \(f_p\in {\mathcal {R}}^{-1}\) and \(f_p^{-1}=f^*_{1-p^*}\).
For \(p_1, p_2\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) such that \(p_1p_2=p_2p_1=0\), the equality \(p_1 + p_2=1\) is called a decomposition of the identity of the ring \({\mathcal {R}}\).
Let \(p_1 + p_2=1\) and \(q_1 + q_2=1\) be two decompositions of the identity of a ring \({\mathcal {R}}\). We can represent any \(x\in {\mathcal {R}}\) as a matrix
where \(x_{ij}=p_ixq_j\in p_i{\mathcal {R}}q_j\). If any \(y\in {\mathcal {R}}\) is written in a matrix form \(y=[y_{ij}]_{q,p}\), \(y_{ij}=q_iyp_j\in q_i{\mathcal {R}}p_j\), \(i,j=\overline{1,2}\), we can use usual matrix rules in order to add and multiply x and y, because \(p_1p_2=p_2p_1=0\) and \(q_1q_2=q_2q_1=0\). In a ring with involution, notice that
An element \(a\in {\mathcal {R}}\) is group invertible if there exists a unique element \(a^\#\in {\mathcal {R}}\) such that
We use \({\mathcal {R}}^\#\) to denote the set of all group invertible elements of \({\mathcal {R}}\). If \(a\in {\mathcal {R}}^\#\), then \(a^\pi =1-aa^\#\) is the spectral idempotent of a.
By elementary computations, we can check the following result which was proved for Banach algebra elements in [10].
Lemma 1.4
-
(i)
Let \(x=\left[ \begin{array}{cc} a&{}b\\ 0&{}s \end{array}\right] _{p\times p}\in {\mathcal {R}}\). If \(a\in (p{\mathcal {R}}p)^\#\), \(s\in ((1-p){\mathcal {R}}(1-p))^\#\), and \(a^\pi bs^\pi =0\), then
$$\begin{aligned} x^\#=\left[ \begin{array}{cc} a^\#&{}(a^\#)^2bs^\pi -a^\#bs^\#+a^\pi b(s^\#)^{2}\\ 0&{}s^\# \end{array}\right] _{p\times p}. \end{aligned}$$ -
(ii)
Let \(x=\left[ \begin{array}{cc} a&{}0\\ c&{}s \end{array}\right] _{p\times p}\in {\mathcal {R}}\). If \(a\in (p{\mathcal {R}}p)^\#\), \(s\in ((1-p){\mathcal {R}}(1-p))^\#\) and \(s^\pi ca^\pi =0\), then
$$\begin{aligned} x^\#=\left[ \begin{array}{cc} a^\#&{}0\\ s^\pi c(a^\#)^2-s^\#ca^\#+(s^\#)^{2}ca^\pi &{}s^\# \end{array}\right] _{p\times p}. \end{aligned}$$
Several explicit expressions for the (P, Q)-outer generalized inverses of bounded linear operators in Hilbert spaces are given in [2].
In this paper, equivalent conditions for the existence of the image-kernel (p, q)-inverses and new expressions for them in a ring with involution are presented, which generalize some results from [2]. Also, some properties of the image-kernel (p, q)-inverses are investigated.
2 Characterizations of the Image-Kernel (p, q)-Inverses
In the first theorem, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the image-kernel (p, q)-inverse \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) and the reflexive image-kernel (p, q)-inverse \(a^{(1,\times )}_{p,q}\) in a ring with involution, giving new representation for these inverse.
Theorem 2.1
Let \(p,q\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) such that \(p^\bot \) and \(q^\bot \) exist and let \(f_p=1+p-p^\bot \) and \(f_q=1+q-q^\bot \). For \(a\in {\mathcal {R}}\), then \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) exists if and only if
and \((a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,q^\bot }\) exists.
In this case,
Furthermore, \(a^{(1,\times )}_{p,q}\) exists if and only if \(a_4=a_3(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,q^\bot }a_2\) in (1). Then, \(a^{(1,\times )}_{p,q}\) is represented as in (2).
Proof
\(\Rightarrow \): We have the following representations of p and q:
Assume that
for \(a_1\in (1-q^\bot ){\mathcal {R}}p^\bot \), \(a_2\in (1-q^\bot ){\mathcal {R}}(1-p^\bot )\), \(a_3\in q^\bot {\mathcal {R}}p^\bot \), \(a_4\in q^\bot {\mathcal {R}}(1-p^\bot )\), and
Since \(b=pb\) and
we obtain \(b_2=0\), \(b_3=0\), and \(b_4=0\). The equality \(bap=p\) is equivalent to \(b_1a_1p^\bot =p^\bot \) and \(b_1a_1p_1=p_1\), that is, \(b_1a_1=p^\bot \). Similarly, \((1-q)=(1-q)ab\) if and only if \(1-q^\bot =a_1b_1\). From \(b=bab\), we get \(b_1=b_1a_1b_1\). Thus, \(b_1=(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,q^\bot }\). Also, observe that
and
Using (1) and (2), if \(a^{(1,\times )}_{p,q}\) exists, then \(a=aa^{\times }_{p,q}a\) gives \(a_4=a_3(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,q^\bot }a_2\) and \(a^{(1,\times )}_{p,q}=a^{\times }_{p,q}\).
\(\Leftarrow \): Suppose that a is represented by (1). We can easily verify that the element on the right side of (2) is the image-kernel (p, q)-inverse of a. \(\square \)
We now characterize the existence of the image-kernel (p, q)-inverses \(c^{\times }_{1-q,1-p}\) and \(c^{(1,\times )}_{1-q,1-p}\).
Theorem 2.2
Let \(p,q\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) such that \(p^\bot \) and \(q^\bot \) exist and let \(f_p=1+p-p^\bot \) and \(f_q=1+q-q^\bot \). For \(c\in {\mathcal {R}}\), then \(c^{\times }_{1-q,1-p}\) exists if and only if
and \((c_{1})^{(2)}_{1-q^\bot ,1-p^\bot }\) exists.
In this case,
Furthermore, \(c^{(1,\times )}_{1-q,1-p}\) exists if and only if \(c_4=c_3(c_{1})^{(2)}_{1-q^\bot ,1-p^\bot }c_2\) in (4). Then, \(c^{(1,\times )}_{1-q,1-p}\) is represented as in (5).
Proof
Suppose that p and q are represented as in (3). Let
where \(c_1\in p^\bot {\mathcal {R}}(1-q^\bot )\), \(c_2\in p^\bot {\mathcal {R}}q^\bot \), \(c_3\in (1-p^\bot ){\mathcal {R}}(1-q^\bot )\), \(c_4\in (1-p^\bot ){\mathcal {R}}q^\bot \), and
Using the equalities
and
we deduce that \(b^{\prime }_2=b^{\prime }_1p_1\), \(b^{\prime }_3=-q_1b^{\prime }_1\), and \(b^{\prime }_4=-q_1b^{\prime }_1p_1\). So,
Notice that \(b^{\prime }c(1-q)=(1-q)\) holds if and only if \(b^{\prime }_1c_1=1-q^\bot \). Also, \(p=pcb'\) is equivalent to \(c_1b^{\prime }_1=p^\bot \). Because \(b^{\prime }cb^{\prime }=b^{\prime }\) yields \(b^{\prime }_1c_1b^{\prime }_1=b^{\prime }_1\), we conclude that \(b^{\prime }_1=(c_1)^{(2)}_{1-q^\bot , 1-p^\bot }\). Therefore,
and
Observe that \(cc^{(1,\times )}_{1-q,1-p}c=c\) is equivalent to \(c_4=c_3(c_{1})^{(2)}_{1-q^\bot ,1-p^\bot }c_2\). \(\square \)
As Theorems 2.1 and 2.2, we verify the following result.
Theorem 2.3
Let \(p,q\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) such that \(p^\bot \) and \(q^\bot \) exist and let \(f_p=1+p-p^\bot \) and \(f_q=1+q-q^\bot \). For \(a\in {\mathcal {R}}\), then
-
(i)
\(a^{\times }_{p,1-q}\) exists if and only if a is represented as in (1) and \((a_{3})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-q^\bot }\) exists.
In this case,
$$\begin{aligned} a^{\times }_{p,1-q}= & {} f_p^{-1} \left[ \begin{array}{cc}0&{}(a_{3})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-q^\bot }\\ 0&{}0\end{array}\right] _{p^\bot \times (1-q^\bot )}f_q\\= & {} \left[ \begin{array}{cc}(a_{3})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-q^\bot }q_1&{}(a_{3})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-q^\bot }\\ 0&{}0\end{array}\right] _{p^\bot \times (1-q^\bot )}, \end{aligned}$$where \(q_1=q^\bot q(1-q^\bot )=q-q^\bot \).
-
(ii)
\(a^{\times }_{1-p,q}\) exists if and only if a is represented as in (1) and \((a_{2})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,q^\bot }\) exists.
In this case,
$$\begin{aligned}a^{\times }_{1-p,q}= & {} f_p^{-1} \left[ \begin{array}{cc}0&{}0\\ (a_{2})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,q^\bot }&{}0\end{array}\right] _{p^\bot \times (1-q^\bot )}f_q\\ {}= & {} \left[ \begin{array}{cc}-p_1(a_{2})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,q^\bot }&{}0\\ (a_{2})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,q^\bot }&{}0\end{array}\right] _{p^\bot \times (1-q^\bot )}, \end{aligned}$$where \(p_1=p^\bot p(1-p^\bot )=p-p^\bot \).
-
(iii)
\(a^{\times }_{1-p,1-q}\) exists if and only if a is represented as in (1) and \((a_{4})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,1-q^\bot }\) exists.
In this case,
$$\begin{aligned} a^{\times }_{1-p,1-q}= & {} f_p^{-1} \left[ \begin{array}{cc}0&{}0\\ 0&{}(a_{4})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,1-q^\bot }\end{array}\right] _{p^\bot \times (1-q^\bot )}f_q\\ {}= & {} \left[ \begin{array}{cc}-p_1(a_{4})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,1-q^\bot }q_1&{}-p_1(a_{4})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot , 1-q^\bot }\\ (a_{4})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,1-q^\bot }q_1&{}(a_{4})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,1-q^\bot } \end{array}\right] _{p^\bot \times (1-q^\bot )}, \end{aligned}$$where \(p_1\) and \(q_1\) are defined as in parts (i) and (ii).
Furthermore, \(a^{(1,\times )}_{1-p,1-q}\) exists if and only if \(a_1=a_2(a_{4})^{(2)}_{1-p^\bot ,1-q^\bot }a_3\) in (1). Then, \(a^{(1,\times )}_{1-p,1-q}=a^{\times }_{1-p,1-q}\).
Some interesting properties of the image-kernel (p, q)-inverse are studied in the next theorem.
Theorem 2.4
Let \(a\in {\mathcal {R}}\) and \(p,q\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \). Then,
-
(i)
\(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) exists if and only if \((a^*)^{\times }_{1-q^*,1-p^*}\) exists. In addition, \((a^{\times }_{p,q})^*=(a^*)^{\times }_{1-q^*,1-p^*}\).
-
(ii)
If \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) exists, then \((a^{\times }_{p,q})^2=a^{\times }_{p,q}\) if and only if \(a^{\times }_{p,q}p=p\).
Proof
(i) By Theorem 1.1, \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) exists if and only if there exists some \(b\in {\mathcal {R}}\) such that
which is equivalent to the existence of some \(b\in {\mathcal {R}}\) such that
that is, the existence of \((a^*)^{\times }_{1-q^*,1-p^*}\).
(ii) If \((a^{\times }_{p,q})^2=a^{\times }_{p,q}\), we get
Conversely, the equality \(a^{\times }_{p,q}p=p\) gives
\(\square \)
In the following result, we consider the image-kernel \((p,1-p)\)-inverse.
Theorem 2.5
Let \(a\in {\mathcal {R}}\), \(p\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) such that \(p^\bot \) exists and let \(f_p=1+p-p^\bot \). If \(a^{\times }_{p,1-p}\) exists, then
-
(i)
\(a^{\times }_{p,1-p}a=aa^{\times }_{p,1-p}\) if and only if
$$\begin{aligned} a=f_p^{-1}\left[ \begin{array}{cc} a_{1}&{}0\\ 0&{}a_{4}\end{array}\right] _{p^\bot \times p^\bot }f_p. \end{aligned}$$(6) -
(ii)
\(a^{\times }_{p,1-p}\) is self-adjoint if and only if \(p=p^*\) and \(p^\bot ap^\bot \) is self-adjoint.
Proof
Assume that p is represented as in (3),
for \(a_1\in p^\bot {\mathcal {R}}p^\bot \), \(a_2\in p^\bot {\mathcal {R}}(1-p^\bot )\), \(a_3\in (1-p^\bot ){\mathcal {R}}p^\bot \), \(a_4\in (1-p^\bot ){\mathcal {R}}(1-p^\bot )\), and
Using \(b=pb\), we obtain that \(b_3=0\) and \(b_4=0\). By the equality \(b(1-p)=0\), we deduce that \(b_2=b_1p_1\). Since
and
then \(b_{1}a_1=p^\bot \) and \(a_1b_{1}=p^\bot \). From \(bab=b\), it follows that \(b_1a_1b_1=b_1\). Thus, \(b_1=(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot }\),
and
(i) Since
and
notice that \(a^{\times }_{p,1-p}a=aa^{\times }_{p,1-p}\) if and only if \(a_{1}(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot }a_2=0\) and \(a_3(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot }a_{1}=0\) which is equivalent to \(a_2=0\) and \(a_3=0\).
(ii) Using \(a^{\times }_{p,1-p}=\left[ \begin{array}{cc}(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot } &{}(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot }p_1\\ 0&{}0\end{array}\right] _{p^\bot \times p^\bot }\), we observe that \((a^{\times }_{p,1-p})^*=a^{\times }_{p,1-p}\) is equivalent to \(((a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot })^*=(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot }\) and \(p_1=0\). Also, \(p=p^*\) if and only if \(p_1=0\). When \(p_1=0\) in (7), we have
If \(p^\bot ap^\bot =a_1=a_1^*\), then \((a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot }=(a_{1}^*)^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot } =((a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot })^*\). Because \(a_1=p^\bot a_1= a_1(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot }a_1\), from \((a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot }=((a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot })^* =(a_{1}^*)^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,1-p^\bot }\),
\(\square \)
New representations for \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) and \(c^{\times }_{1-q,1-p}\) involving the corresponding group inverse are given now.
Theorem 2.6
Let \(p,q\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) such that \(p^\bot \) and \(q^\bot \) exist and let \(a,c\in {\mathcal {R}}\) such that \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) and \(c^{\times }_{1-q,1-p}\) exist. Then,
-
(i)
\(pc(1-q)a, pc(1-q)ap\in {\mathcal {R}}^\#\),
$$\begin{aligned}&a^{\times }_{p,q}=[pc(1-q)a]^\#pc(1-q)=[pc(1-q)ap]^\#pc(1-q),\\&c^{\times }_{1-q,1-p}=(1-q)a[pc(1-q)ap]^\#; \end{aligned}$$ -
(ii)
\(apc(1-q), (1-q)apc(1-q)\in {\mathcal {R}}^\#\),
$$\begin{aligned}&a^{\times }_{p,q}=pc(1-q)[apc(1-q)]^\#=pc[(1-q)apc(1-q)]^\#,\\&c^{\times }_{1-q,1-p}=[(1-q)apc(1-q)]^\#(1-q)ap. \end{aligned}$$
Proof
(i) Set \(f_p=1+p-p^\bot \) and \(f_q=1+q-q^\bot \). Applying Theorems 2.1 and 2.2,
We prove that \(c_{1}a_{1}\) is group invertible and \((c_{1}a_{1})^\#=(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,q^\bot }(c_{1})^{(2)}_{1-q^\bot ,1-p^\bot }\) by
Since \((c_{1}a_{1})^\pi c_{1}a_2 =(p^\bot -c_{1}a_{1}(a_{1})^{(2)}_{p^\bot ,q^\bot }(c_{1})^{(2)}_{1-q^\bot ,1-p^\bot }) c_{1}a_2=0\), by Lemma 1.4,
Therefore, \(pc(1-q)a\in {\mathcal {R}}^\#\) and
implying
From
we deduce that \(pc(1-q)ap\in {\mathcal {R}}^\#\) and
Thus,
and
The proof of part (ii) is similar to the proof of (i), so it is omitted. \(\square \)
By the properties of the group inverse and the idempotency of p and \(1-q\), we get the next consequence of Theorem 2.6.
Corollary 2.1
Let \(p,q\in {\mathcal {R}}^\bullet \) such that \(p^\bot \) and \(q^\bot \) exist and \(a,c\in {\mathcal {R}}\) such that \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) and \(c^{\times }_{1-q,1-p}\) exist. Then, \(pc(1-q)ap, (1-q)apc(1-q)\in {\mathcal {R}}^\#\),
In a ring \({\mathcal {R}}\) with involution and the GN-property, we can omit the assumptions \(p^\bot \) and \(q^\bot \) exist in the previous results.
Let \({\mathcal {A}}\) be a \(C^*\)-algebra with unit 1. An element \(x\in {\mathcal {A}}\) is positive (denoted by \(x\ge 0\)) if \(x = x^*\) and \(\sigma (x)\subseteq [0,+\infty )\), where \(\sigma (x)\) denotes the spectrum of x. We check the next theorem.
Theorem 2.7
Let \(a,b\in {\mathcal {A}}\) and \(p,q\in {\mathcal {A}}^\bullet \). If \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\) exists and \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\ge 0\), then \((a+bb^*)^{\times }_{p,q}\) exists and
Proof
The hypothesis \(a^{\times }_{p,q}\ge 0\) implies that \(a^{\times }_{p,q}=s^*s\), for some \(s\in {\mathcal {A}}\). So, \(b^*a^{\times }_{p,q}b=b^*s^*sb=(sb)^*sb\ge 0\) which yields that \(1+b^*a^{\times }_{p,q}b\) is invertible. Denote by \(x=a+bb^*\) and by y the right side of (8). Then, from \(py=y\), \(yq=0\),
and
We conclude that \(x^{\times }_{p,q}\) exists and \(x^{\times }_{p,q}=y\). \(\square \)
