Abstract
The reverse order law for reflexive generalized inverses of multiple matrix products was introduced and discussed in [M.Wei, Reverse order laws for generalized inverse of multiple matrix products, Linear Algebra Appl., 293 (1999) 273-288]. There the author derived some necessary and sufficient conditions for the reverse order lawAn{1,2}An-1{1,2}â¦A1{1,2}=(A1A2â¦An){1,2},by applying the product singular value decomposition (P-SVD). In this note, we revisited this reverse order law by using the extremal rank relations of generalized Schur complements and a new simpler equivalent condition is obtained in terms of only the ranks of the known matrices.
