Dual $r$-Rank Decomposition and Its Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the dual $r$-rank decomposition of dual matrix, get its existence condition and equivalent form of the decomposition, as well as derive some characterizations of dual Moore-Penrose generalized inverse(DMPGI). Based on DMPGI, we introduce one special dual matrix(dual EP matrix). By applying the dual $r$-rank decomposition we derive several characterizations of dual EP matrix, dual idempotent matrix, dual generalized inverses, and the relationships among dual Penrose equations.
