2 THE MOORE-PENROSE INVERSE OF A FREE MATRIX THOMAS BRITZ Abstract A matrix is free, or generic, if its nonzero entries are algebraically independent Necessary and sufficient combinatorial conditions are presented for a complex free matrix to hae a free Moore-Penrose inerse These conditions extend preiously known results for square, nonsingular free matrices The result used to proe this characterization relates the combinatorial structure of a free matrix to that of its Moore-Penrose inerse Also, it is proed that the bipartite graph or, equialently, the zero pattern of a free matrix uniquely determines that of its Moore-Penrose inerse, and this mapping is described explicitly Finally, it is proed that a free matrix contains at most as many nonzero entries as does its Moore-Penrose inerse Key words Free matrix, Moore-Penrose inerse, Bipartite graph, Directed graph AMS subject classifications 05C50, 15A09 1 The main results A set of complex numbers S is algebraically independent oer the rational numbers Q if p(s 1,,s n ) 0 wheneer s 1,,s n are distinct elements of S and p(x 1,,x n ) is a nonzero polynomial with rational coefficients Lemma 11 Let S 1 and S be finite sets of complex numbers so that each element of S may be written as a rational form in elements of S 1, and conersely If S 1 is algebraically independent, then S is algebraically independent if and only if S 1 S Proof For each finite set of complex numbers S,let dt Q S denote the maximal cardinality of an algebraically independent subset of S and note that dt Q S dt Q Q(S) Each element of S may be written as a rational form in entries of S 1,so S Q(S 1 ) Similarly, S 1 Q(S ); thus, Q(S 1 )Q(S ) If S 1 is algebraically independent,then S 1 dt Q S 1 dt Q Q(S 1 )dt Q Q(S )dt Q S,and the lemma follows A matrix with complex entries is free,or generic,if the multiset of nonzero entries is algebraically independent These nonzero entries may be iewed as indeterminants oer the rational numbers; see [5,Chap 6] Free matrices hae been used to represent objects from transersal theory,extremal poset theory,electrical network theory,and other combinatorial areas; see [,Chap 9] for a partial oeriew The adantage of such representations is that they allow methods from linear algebra to be applied to combinatorial problems,most often ia the connection gien in Theorem 1 below A nonzero partial diagonal of a matrix A is a collection of nonzero entries no two of which lie in the same row or column,and the term rank of A is the maximal size of a nonzero partial diagonal in A Theorem 1 [4,6] The term rank of a free matrix equals its rank Note that the rank and term rank are identical for each submatrix of a free matrix Receied by the editors 7 June 007 Accepted for publication 8 August 007 Handling Editor: Stephen J Kirkland School of Mathematics and Statistics, Uniersity of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 05, Australia (britz@unsweduau) Supported by a Villum Kann Rasmussen postdoctoral grant and an ARC Discoery Grant 08
3 The Moore-Penrose Inerse of a Free Matrix 09 For any complex m n matrix A [a ij ],the Moore-Penrose inerse A is the unique matrix that satisfies the following four properties [7,8]: A AA A AA A A (A A) T A A (AA ) T AA If A is a square,nonsingular matrix,then A A 1 Hence,Moore-Penrose inersion generalizes standard matrix inersion For more information on the Moore-Penrose inerse,see [1] and the extensie bibliography therein This article describes combinatorial properties of the Moore-Penrose inerses of free matrices The first two main results,theorems 1 and 14 below,describe how the combinatorial structure of a free matrix A relates to that of the Moore-Penrose inerse A Stronger but more technical results are proed in Sections and For each integer r 1,let A[1 : r] denote the leading principal (ie upper left) r r submatrix of A Furthermore, let B(A) be the bipartite graph with ertices U V and edges { {u i, j } : u i U, j V, a ij 0 } where U {u 1,,u m } and V { 1,, n } are disjoint sets If m n,then let D(A) be the digraph with ertices W {w 1,,w n } and arcs E {(w i,w j ) : a ij 0} Thus,for instance, D(I n ) denotes the digraph with arcs {(w, w) :w W } For any digraph D,let D be the transitie closure of D For (di)graphs D 1 and D,let the notation D 1 D indicate that D 1 is a sub-(di)graph of D Theorem 1 If A is a free matrix, then B(A) uniquely determines B(A ) The aboe result follows immediately from Theorem in Section Theorem 14 Let A be a free matrix of rank r for which D(I r ) D(A[1 : r]) Then A [a ij ] and A [α ij ] can be written as C F S X A and A with C A[1:r], D(I r ) D(C) D(C) D(S), B(F ) B(Y T ),andb(g) B(X T ) A proof of Theorem 14 is gien in Section Corollary 15 The Moore-Penrose inerse A of a free matrix A has at least as many nonzero entries as A In the nonsingular case,theorem 14 has the following simple form Theorem 16 For any nonsingular n n free matrix A such that D(I n ) D(A), the digraph D(A 1 ) is equal to the transitie closure D(A) Proof SinceA 1 is a polynomial in A,we hae D(A 1 ) D(A) D(I n )D(A) Conersely,Theorem 14 asserts that D(A) D(A 1 ) Hence, D(A 1 )D(A) Remark 17 No generality is lost by requiring that D(I r ) D(A[1 : r]) in Theorem 14 Indeed for each free matrix A of rank r,choose any permutation matrices P and Q for which A : PAQsatisfies this condition,and apply the theorem to A Similarly,no generality is lost by requiring that D(I n ) D(A) in Theorem 16 The final main result is expressed as Theorem 18 below It proides necessary and sufficient conditions for the Moore-Penrose inerse A of a free matrix A to be free,and thereby generalizes [,Theorem 1]
4 10 T Britz Theorem 18 Let A be a free matrix of rank r and let P and Q be permutation matrices for which A : PAQ satisfies D(I r ) D(A [1 : r]) Write A C F and A S X where C A [1 : r] and S are r r matrices The following statements are equialent: 1 A is free; A and A hae an equal number of nonzero (or zero) entries; D(C) D(S), B(F )B(Y T ), B(G) B(X T ),andz 0 Proof Conditions 1 and are equialent by Lemma 11 Since A is free if and only if A is free, A is free if and only if A and A hae equal numbers of zero entries By Theorem 14,this is true if and only if condition is satisfied Corollary 19 If A is a free matrix, then the bipartite graph B(A) determines whether the Moore-Penrose inerse A is also free Proof By Theorem 1, B(A) determines B(A ) and thus whether A and A contain equal numbers of zero entries Now apply Theorem 18 Remark 110 Let A be a free matrix represented as in Theorems 14 and 18 If A is free,then,by these theorems,d(c) D(C) D(S) Example 111 The aboe results are illustrated by Figures 11 and 1,each of which shows a free matrix A and its inerse A Theentriesa ij and α ij represent the nonzero entries of A and A,respectiely; for instance,α 11 a 11 /(a 11 + a 41 ) in Figure 11 The matrices are represented as in Theorems 14 and 18,and the (di)graphs associated to them in these theorems are also shown Note that in each figure D(I r ) D(C) D(C) D(S), B(F ) B(Y T ),and B(G) B(X T ),as asserted by Theorem 14 Note also that A contains at least as many nonzero entries as A,as asserted by Corollary 15 Finally,note that the Moore-Penrose inerse A in Figure 11 is not free but that A in Figure 1 is indeed free By Theorem 18,this may be seen by comparing the numbers of zero entries in A and A or by checking whether the equalities D(C) D(S), B(F )B(Y T ),and B(G) B(X T )hold The structure of the Moore-Penrose inerse of a free matrix Let Q k,l be the family of ordered k-subsets of (1,,l) Consider γ (γ 1,,γ k ) Q k,l For each i γ,let γ i denote the ordered set γ\{i}; alsoforeachi/ γ,let (i; γ) denote the ordered set (i, γ 1,,γ k ) If A is an m n matrix and γ,δ are ordered subsets of (1,,m)and(1,,n),respectiely,then let A[γ δ] denotethe γ δ matrix whose (i, j)th entry equals a γiδ j Note that A[1 : k] :A[1,,k 1,,k] Note also that A[γ δ] is the submatrix of A with rows γ and columns δ,whereas A[i; γ j; δ] has rows and columns ordered (i; γ) and(j; δ),respectiely Theorem 1 [7] Let A be a complex m n matrix A with rank r and let A [α ij ] denote the Moore-Penrose inerse of A Then det A[γ δ]det A[j; γ i; δ] α ij γ Q r 1,m,j / γ δ Q r 1,n,i/ δ ρ Q r,m τ Q r,n det A[ρ τ]det A[ρ τ]

6 1 T Britz A A / Hence, {u i, j } is an edge of B(A ) if and only if {u j, i } is an edge of B(A) Theorem below describes how the bipartite graph of a free matrix A uniquely determines the bipartite graph of the Moore-Penrose inerse A A matching in a graph is a collection of edges no two of which are incident Theorem {u i, j } is an edge of B(A ) if and only if B(A) contains a path p from i to u j of length s +1 with s 0 and a matching with r s 1 edges, none of which is incident to p Proof Ifr 0orr 1,then the proof follows triially from Remark,so suppose that r Assume that α ij 0 By Theorem 1,there are sequences γ Q r 1,m and δ Q r 1,n so that j / γ, i/ δ,and det A[γ δ]det A[j; γ i; δ] 0 Then B(A[γ δ]) and B(A[j; γ i; δ]) each contains a matching with r 1andr edges, respectiely,say E 1 and E Let G denote the bipartite graph with edges E 1 E and delete from G each isolated edge containing neither i nor u j In G,ertices i and u j hae degree 1 and all other ertices hae degree,so G is the disjoint union of some path p from i to u j and some cycles Hence, B(A[j; γ i; δ]) contains p and at least one (perhaps empty) matching E that coers all ertices not in p Thus, there is an integer s 0sothatp has length s +1 and so thate contains r s 1edges Both p and E are contained in B(A) and satisfy the conditions stated in the theorem Now assume that B(A) contains a path p from i to u j i u j1 i1 u j i u js is u j of length s +1 with s 0 and at least one matching with r s 1edges,say { {uj t, i t } : t 1,,r s 1},none of which is incident to p Order the sets {j 1,,j s } {j t : t 1,,r s 1} and {i 1,,i s } {i t : t 1,,r s 1} to form increasing sequences, γ and δ,respectiely Then {a j1i 1,,a jsi s } {a j t i t : t 1,,r s 1} and {a j1i,a ji 1,,a jsi s 1,a jis } {a j t i t : t 1,,r s 1} are nonzero partial diagonals of A[γ δ ]anda[j; γ i; δ ],respectiely Therefore, S det A[γ δ]det A[j; γ i; δ] γ Q r 1,m,j / γ δ Q r 1,n,i/ δ is a sum of signed monomials of degree r 1,one of which is a j1i 1 a jsi s a j 1 i 1 a j r s 1 i r s 1 a j 1ia ji 1 a jsi s 1 a jis a j 1 i 1 a j r s 1 i r s 1 Since A is free,these monomials do not anish,so S 0 By Theorem 1, α ij 0
7 The Moore-Penrose Inerse of a Free Matrix 1 Proposition 4 Let {u j, i } be an edge of B(A) Then {u i, j } is an edge of B(A ) if and only if {u j, i } is contained in some matching of B(A) with r edges If {u j, i } is contained in eery such matching, then α ij 1 a ji If{u i, j } is contained in no such matching, and E is such a matching, then E contains edges {u i, ie } and {u je, j } for which {u ie, je } is an edge of B(A ) Proof If {u j, i } is contained in some matching E in B(A) withr edges,then u j i is a path that together with the matching E {u j, i } satisfies the conditions in Theorem,so {u i, j } is an edge of B(A ) Conersely,suppose that {u i, j } is an edge of B(A ) By Theorem, B(A) contains a path p from i to u j of length s +1, i u j1 i1 u j i u js is u j, as well as a matching E with r s 1 edges,none of which are incident to p Then E { {u j, i }, {u j1, i1 },,{u js, is } } is a matching in B(A) withr edges, including {u j, i } If {u j, i } is in eery matching in B(A) with r edges,then det A[j; γ i; δ] a ji det A[γ δ] for all γ Q r 1,m and δ Q r 1,n with j / γ, i/ δ By Theorem 1, α ij aji a jia ji 1 a ji If E has no edges incident to u i or j,then E {u i, j } is a matching in B(A) withr +1 edges,so,by Theorem 1,the rank of A is at least r+1,a contradiction Thus,E contains at least one such edge,say {u i, ie } If E does not also contain an edge {u je, j },then (E {u i, ie }) {u i, j } is a matching of B(A) withr edges,one of which is {u i, j },a contradiction Thus,E contains edges {u i, ie } and {u je, j } for some ertices ie and u je Then ie u i j u je is a path from u je to ie of length s +1 with s 1andE {u i, ie } {u je, j } is a matching in B(A) withr s 1 r edges,none of which contain u je, u i, j,or ie By Theorem, {u ie, je } is an edge of B(A ) Then {u je, ie } is not an edge of B(A) since this would imply that ( E {u je, j } {u i, ie } ) {u i, j } {u je, ie } is amatchinginb(a) withr edges,one of which is {u i, j } Example 5 To illustrate the results in this section,let A be as follows: 4 a11 a1 0 a 5 0 a " 1 a 1 a a 11 a 11 c 0 a c a 1 a a 11 c a c # 1 u 1 u u 1 u 1 u A A B(A) B(A ) Here, c a + a and the rank of A is r The graph B(A) contains the path 1 u 1 u of length s +1withs 1 Thenr s 10andTheorem implies that {u 1, } is an edge of B(A ),as is indeed the case The graph B(A) contains precisely two matchings with r edges,namely E 1 { {u 1, 1 }, {u, } } and E { {u 1, 1 }, {u, } } Thus,the edge {u 1, 1 } is contained in all matchings in B(A) withr edgesandthe edge {u 1, } is contained in none of these By Proposition 4, α 11 1 a 11, α 1 0, and the edges {u 1, } and {u 1, } are edges of B(A )
8 14 T Britz Proof of Theorem 14 Theorem 14 follows triially from the next result Theorem 1 Let A be a free matrix of rank r for which D(I r ) D(A[1 : r]) Then A [a ij ] and A [α ij ] canbewrittenas C F A and A S X where C A[1 : r] Furthermore, let i, j, k be positie integers with max{i, j} r<k, and suppose that there is at least one path in D(C) from w i to w j Then 1 α ij 0; if a ik 0,thenα kj 0; if a kj 0,thenα ik 0; 4 if a jk 0 or a ki 0, then paths from w i to w j in D(C) are also paths in D(S T ) Proof WriteA and A as C F S X A and A G H where C A[1 : r] ands are r r matrices The r 0andr 1 cases follow easily from Remark so suppose that r Since C contains a diagonal of r nonzero entries,theorem 1 implies that H 0 Let w i w i1 w i w js 1 w j be a (perhaps triial) path p from w i to w j in D(C) To proe statement 1,first note that D(I r ) D(C) It follows that the graph B(A) contains the path i u i i1 u i1 i u i is 1 u is 1 j u j from i to u j and the matching { {ut, t } : t {1,,r} {i, i 1,i,,i s 1,j} } By Theorem, B(A ) contains the edge {u i, j },ie,α ij 0 Similarly,if a ik 0,thenB(A) contains the path k u i i1 u i1 i u i is 1 u is 1 j u j from k to u j and the same matching as before By Theorem, α kj 0,which proes statement Statement follows from statement by transposing A To proe statement 4,suppose that a jk 0 Then { {ui, i1 }, {u i1, i },,{u is 1, j }, {u j, k } } { {u t, t } : t {1,,r} {i, i 1,i,,i s 1,j} } is a matching E in B(A) withr edges By Proposition 4, {u j, i } is an edge of B(A ) for each edge {u i, j } of E Therefore,(w j,w i )isanarcofd(s) foreach arc (w i,w j )ofp,so p is a path in D(S T ) The a ki 0 case is proed similarly Acknowledgments I gratefully thank Carsten Thomassen for his adice and encouragement and also thank the anonymous referee for good suggestions
