group inverse (Definition)

Let $ A$ be an $ n \times n$ matrix over $ \mathbb{R}$. A group inverse for $ A$ is an $ n \times n$ matrix $ X$ such that

$\displaystyle AXA$ $\displaystyle = A$ (1)
$\displaystyle XAX$ $\displaystyle = X$ (2)
$\displaystyle AX$ $\displaystyle = XA.$ (3)

Such a matrix, when it exists, is unique and is denoted by $ A^{\char93 }$. A group inverse is a special case of a Drazin inverse.
