Ranks and independence of solutions of the matrix equation AXB + CYD= M
Yongge Tian


Abstract.  Suppose AXB + CYD= M is a consistent matrix equation. In this paper, we give some formulas for the maximal and minimal ranks of two solutions X and Y to the equation. In addition, we investigate the independence of solutions X and Y to this equation.

Keywords: Generalized inverse, matrix equation, rank equality, rank formulas for partitioned matrices, general solution, independence of solutions.
