3 000 F.E. Udwadia, P. Poomsiri / pplied Matematics and Computation 90 (2007) Below are te four conditions for te generalized LM-inverse []. ðiþ BB þ LM B B; ðiiþ B þ LM BBþ LM Bþ LM ; ðiiiþ LBB þ LM is symmetric; ð7þ ðivþ MB þ LMB is symmetric: ð8þ We note tat te generalized LM-inverse is te more general kind of te Moore Penrose inverse. Te concept of Moore Penrose (MP) inverses was first introduced by Moore [2] in 920 and later independently by Penrose [3] in 955. In 960, Greville [4] gave te first formulae for recursively determining te Moore Penrose inverse of a matrix. His algoritm provides an update of te MP inverse of a matrix wenever new information becomes available. s a result, te recursive formulae ave found extensive use in many areas of applications. mong tem are statistical inference [5], filtering teory, estimation teory [6], system identification [7], optimization and control, and most recently analytical dynamics [8,9]. In 997 Udwadia and Kalaba [0] provided an alternative and simple constructive proof of Greville s formulae, and later [,2] developed recursive relations for different types of generalized inverses of a matrix including te least-squares generalized inverse, te minimum-norm generalized inverse, and te Moore Penrose (MP) inverse of a matrix. Recently, te recursive formulae for te generalized M-inverse [3,4] and for te generalized LM-inverse were obtained. Tose for te generalized LM-inverse were proved constructively [5]. In tis paper, we provide a muc simpler and alternative proof for te recursive formulae of te generalized LM-inverse, B þ LM,of any given matrix, B, partitioned as B ½ j a Š, were is an m by n matrix and a is a column vector of m components. We sow tat te four conditions of te generalized LM-inverse of te recursive formulae are satisfied. Besides its inerent simplicity, our proof requires several subsidiary properties of te generalized LM-inverse of a matrix, many of wic appear to be ereto unknown; tey are presented in te ppendix. More general tan te generalized M-inverse, te generalized LM-inverse finds use in an even wider range of application areas tan te Moore Penrose inverse areas ranging from system teory, statistics, filtering, control teory, and optimization, to signal processing and mecanics. 2. Recursive formulae of te generalized LM-inverse of a matrix augmented by a column vector 2.. Result For any given matrix B ½ j a Š ð9þ its generalized LM-inverse formulae are given by B þ LM ½ j a Šþ LM þ þ ad þ L ; wen d ði þ d þ Þa 6 0; ð0þ L þ þ a p ; wen d ði þ LM Þa 0; ðþ were is an m by (n ) matrix, a is a column vector of m components, d þ L dt L=ðd T LdÞ, b qt MU, b = q T Mq, U þ, q v þ p, p ði þ 0 m ÞM ~m; and v þ M a. Note tat L is a symmetric positive definite m by m matrix, and M M ~m ~m T ; ð2þ m were M is a symmetric positive definite n by n matrix, M is te symmetric positive definite (n ) by (n ), ~m is te column vector of (n ) components, and m is te scalar. ð5þ ð6þ

4 F.E. Udwadia, P. Poomsiri / pplied Matematics and Computation 90 (2007) It sould be noted tat te formulae are given in two separate cases; wen d 5 0 and wen d = 0. Wen d 5 0, te added column vector a is not a linear combination of te columns of, and wen d = 0, te added column vector a is a linear combination of te columns of (see ppendix in Ref. [5] for a proof). Proof. Case : (wen d 5 0) Because te BB þ M and Bþ MB are repetitively used to verify all four properties of te generalized LM-inverse, we sall first evaluate BB þ M and Bþ MB. By Eqs. (9) and (0), we ave BB þ LM ½ j a Š þ þ ad þ L þ d þ þ ad þ L ðpþdþ L þ adþ L : ð3þ L Since p = 0 (see Property in ppendix) and d ði þ Þa, we get BB þ LM þ þ ad þ L þ adþ L þ þði þ Þad þ L þ þ dd þ L : ð4þ gain by Eqs.

Generalized LM-inverse condition : BB þ LM B B Using Eqs. (9) and (4), we obtain BB þ LM B ðbbþ LM ÞB ðþ þ dd þ L Þ½ j a Š ½þ þ dðd þ L Þ j þ a þ dðd þ L aþ Š: ð8þ Because þ, d þ L 0, dþ L a (see Properties 4 and 5 in ppendix), and d ði þ Þa, we ave BB þ LM B þ a þði þ Þa ½ j a Š B: Generalized LM-inverse condition 2: B þ LM BBþ LM Bþ LM Using Eqs. () and (4), we get B þ LM BBþ LM Bþ LM ðbbþ LM Þ þ þ ad þ L ½ þ d þ þ dd þ L Š; ð9þ L " þ þ þð þ dþd þ L þ aðd þ L Þþ þ ad þ L ddþ L # pðdþ L Þþ pd þ L ddþ L ðd þ L Þþ þ d þ : ð20þ L ddþ L Since þ þ þ, þ d 0, d þ L 0 (see Properties 3 and 4 in ppendix), and dþ L ddþ L dþ L,we obtain B þ LM BBþ LM þ þ ad þ L B þ LM : d þ L Generalized LM-inverse condition 3: LðBB þ LMÞ is symmetric Since L þ and Ldd þ L are symmetric, using Eq. (4), we ave LðBB þ LM ÞLðþ þ dd þ L ÞLþ þ Ldd þ L ; wic is symmetric.

5 002 F.E. Udwadia, P. Poomsiri / pplied Matematics and Computation 90 (2007) Generalized LM-inverse condition 4: MðB þ LMBÞ is symmetric Using Eqs. (2) and (7), we obtain MðB þ LM BÞ M ~m þ ~m T m 0 " p M þ # M p þ ~m ~m T þ ~m T p þ m E ; E ;2 ; ð2þ E 2; E 2;2 were E,, E,2, E 2,, ande 2,2 represent te elements (,), (, 2), (2,), and (2, 2) of te matrix MðB þ LM BÞ, respectively. Note tat E, is te (n ) by (n ) matrix, E,2 is te column vector of (n ) components, E 2, is te row vector of (n ) components, and E 2,2 is te scalar. We see tat E ; M ð þ Þ is symmetric since þ is te generalized -inverse of, wile E 2,2 is a scalar, and is terefore symmetric. Tus, for MðB þ LM BÞ to be symmetric, we need to sow tat E,2 is te transpose of E 2,. Using p ði þ ÞM ~m, te element E,2 can be written as M p þ ~m M ði þ ÞM ~m þ ~m M ð þ ÞM ~m ðþ Þ T ~m; ð22þ wic is te transpose of te element E 2,. Hence, MðB þ LMBÞ is symmetric. We ave sown tat all four generalized LM-inverse conditions are satisfied. Hence, te formula (0) is verified. Case 2: (wen d =0) We begin again by evaluating BB þ LM and Bþ LMB quantities tat we will need furter along. Using Eqs. (9) and (), weave BB þ LM ½ j a Š þ þ a p ½ þ LM ð þ aþ ðpþ þ aš: ð23þ Since þ a a and p = 0 (see Properties and 2 in ppendix), we get BB þ LM ½þ a þ aš þ : Using Eqs.

Generalized LM-inverse condition : BB þ LM B B Using te fact tat þ and þ a a (see Property 2 in ppendix), by Eqs. (9) and (24) we obtain BB þ LM B ðbbþ LM ÞB þ ½ j a Š ½ þ þ a Š½ j a Š B: Generalized LM-inverse condition 2: B þ LM BBþ LM Bþ LM By Eqs.

6 F.E. Udwadia, P. Poomsiri / pplied Matematics and Computation 90 (2007) Generalized LM-inverse condition 3: LðBB þ LMÞ is symmetric Because L þ is symmetric, by Eq. (24) we ave ðbb þ LM ÞT ð þ Þ T L þ L LBB þ LM L : Generalized LM-inverse condition 4: MðB þ LMBÞ is symmetric. Using Eqs. (2), (25), andv þ a, we obtain MðB þ LM BÞ M ~m þ v p v va pa ~m T m ; a " M ð þ # v pþþ~mðþ M ðv va paþþ~mðaþ ~m T ð þ v pþþmðþ ~m T ðv va paþþmðaþ E ; E ;2 ; ð27þ E 2; E 2;2 were E,, E,2, E 2,,andE 2,2 represent te elements (,), (, 2), (2,), and (2,2) of te matrix MðB þ LM BÞ, respectively. Note tat E, is te (n ) by (n ) square matrix, E,2 is te column vector of (n ) components, E 2, is te row vector of (n ) components, and E 2,2 is te scalar. For MðB þ LMBÞ to be symmetric, we need to sow tat E, is symmetric and E,2 is te transpose of E 2,. Let us first sow tat E, is symmetric. We can rewrite E, as E ; M þ ðm v þ M p ~mþðþ: Since M v þ M p ~m bðþ T (see Property 2 in ppendix), we get E ; M þ bðþ T ðþ: Because M þ and b() T () are symmetric, E, is symmetric. Next, we will sow tat E,2 is te transpose of E 2,. Let us rewrite E,2 as E ;2 M v ðm v þ M p ~mþðaþ: Using a b ðvt M v ~m T vþ and M p ~m ð þ Þ T ~m (see Properties 0 and in ppendix) in Eq. (30), we obtain i E ;2 M v M v ð þ Þ T ~m v T M v ~m T v b : ð3þ On te oter and, E 2, can be written as E 2; ~m T þ ~m T v þ ~m T p m ðþ: ð32þ Using b ðvt M ~m T þ Þ and ~m T v þ ~m T p m v T M v v T ~m b (see Properties 8 and 4 in ppendix) in Eq. (32), we get E 2; ~m T ð þ Þ v T M v v T ~m b v T M ~m T þ b ; ð33þ wic can be simplified to E 2; v T M v T M v v T ~m v T M ~m T þ b : ð28þ ð29þ ð30þ ð34þ It can be seen from Eqs. (3) and (34) tat E,2 is te transpose of E 2,. Since we ave already sown tat E, is symmetric and since E 2,2 is scalar wic is symmetric, te symmetry of MðB þ LMBÞ is verified. We ave sown tat all four generalized LM-inverse conditions are satisfied. Hence, te formula () is verified.
