The Moore-Penrose inverse of a factorization

In this paper, we consider the product of matrices $PAQ$, where $A$ is von Neumann regular and there exist $P^{\prime }$ and $Q^{\prime }$ such that $P^{\prime }PA=A=AQQ^{\prime }$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in order to $PAQ$ be Moore-Penrose invertible, extending known characteriz...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we consider the product of matrices $PAQ$, where $A$ is von Neumann regular and there exist $P^{\prime }$ and $Q^{\prime }$ such that $P^{\prime }PA=A=AQQ^{\prime }$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in order to $PAQ$ be Moore-Penrose invertible, extending known characterizations. Finally, an application is given to matrices over separative regular rings.
