Abstract

This paper shows that the nullity and rank of $aP+bQ-cQAP$ is a constant, where $P$ and $Q$ are outer inverses of a given matrix $A$, $c=a+b$ ($a,b\neq 0$) or $c\neq a+b$, $a, b, c \in \mathbb{C}$. In addition, the rank of $aP+bQ-cQAP$ is equal to the rank of $P-Q$ if $c=a+b$ and to $P+Q$ if $c\neq a+b$.
