The common bisymmetric nonnegative definite solutions with extreme ranks and inertias to a pair of matrix equations☆
Introduction
Throughout this paper, we denote the real number field by , the set of all m × n matrices over the quaternion division algebraby ; the symbols stand for the identity matrix with the appropriate size, the conjugate transpose, “an any but fixed” inner inverse and the Moore–Penrose inverse, the column right space, the row left space of a matrix A over , respectively. Moreover, RA = I − AA−, LA = I − A−A, EA = I − AA† and FA = I − A†A. We use symbols and denote the dimension of and the dimension of , respectively. For a quaternion matrix , which we call the rank of A and denote by r(A).
Let , where is the conjugate of the quaternion aji. The matrix is called Hermitian if A = A∗. We denote by the sets of all n × n quaternion Hermitian matrices. The matrix is called bisymmetric if A = A∗ = A# [13]. We denote the set of all n × n bisymmetric matrices by . If is nonnegative definite, we call A the bisymmetric nonnegative definite matrix.
It is well-known that the eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix are all real and the inertia of A is defined to be the tripletwhere i+(A), i−(A) and i0(A) denote the numbers of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of A, respectively. The symbols i+(A) and i−(A) are called the positive index and the negative index of inertia, respectively.
Bisymmetric and bisymmetric nonnegative definite matrices have wide applications in engineering problem, information theory, linear system theory and numerical analysis. Some important results on bisymmetric and bisymmetric nonnegative definite solutions to some matrix equations can be found. For instance, Wang in [12] considered the bisymmetric solution to the system of matrix equationsover . Recently, Zhang and Wang [14] investigated the (P, Q)-(skew) symmetric extremal rank solutions to system (1.1). In 2000, Xie et al. [4] presented the bisymmetric nonnegative definite solution to AX = B over . In 2002, using the generalized singular value decomposition, Liao and Bai [1] presented the bisymmetric nonnegative definite solution X of the matrix equationover . In 2010, Dehghan and Hajarian [9] presented an iterative algorithm to get the common generalized bisymmetric matrix pair solution (X, Y) to the generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations AXB + CYD = M, EXF + GYH = N. The other results concerned with bisymmetric solution to different matrix equations can also be found in ([8], [10], [32], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47]).
As we known, ranks of solutions of linear matrix equations have been considered previously by several authors (see, e.g. [11], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31]). Recently, Xiao et al. [16] investigated the symmetric minimal rank solution to the matrix equation AX = B. However, to our knowledge, there has been little information on bisymmetric nonnegative definite solutions with extremal ranks and inertias to the system (1.1). This paper aims to discuss this problem. For the more relevant work, we can see the literature (e.g. [2], [5], [6], [35], [36]).
We organize this paper as follows. In Section 2, we give the general expressions of the bisymmetric nonnegative definite solution to system (1.1) when the solvability conditions are satisfied. In Section 3, we give the general expression and ranks and inertias formulas for bisymmetric nonnegative definite solution which has the extremal ranks and inertias. In Section 4, we give a numerical example.

Then: if and only ifwhere X1, X2 are r × r Hermitian matrices and if and only if (2.1) holds, where X1, X2 are Hermitian matrices with respective size r × r, (rSee [12]
