TL;DR
The paper investigates core-EP matrices through the lens of the MPDMP matrix $A^{\dagger ,d,\dagger}$ and related inverses. It proves that for core-EP matrices the DMP, MPD, and Drazin inverses coincide, and it develops multiple equivalent characterizations of core-EP via $A^{\dagger ,d,\dagger}$, the core part $A_c$, and projection relations $Q_A$ and $P_A$. It also derives Greville-type formulas for $A^{d,\dagger}$ and $A^{\dagger ,d}$, and analyzes CMP, DMP, MPD inverses and their interactions within the core-EP framework. Finally, it introduces DMP/MPD binary relations and shows how the core part bounds these orders and when these relations align (notably for $k$-EP matrices), providing a unified view of generalized inverses and matrix orders in core-EP theory.
Abstract
In this paper, various properties of core-EP matrices are investigated. We introduce the MPDMP matrix associated with $A$ and by means of it, some properties and equivalent conditions of core-EP matrices can be obtained. Also, properties of MPD, DMP, and CMP inverses are studied and we prove that in the class of core-EP matrices, DMP, MPD, and Drazin inverses are the same. Moreover, DMP and MPD binary relation orders are introduced and the relationship between these orders and other binary relation orders are considered.
