We establish the formulas of the maximal and minimal ranks of the quaternion Hermitian matrix expressionC4−A4XA4∗whereXis a Hermitian solution to quaternion matrix equationsA1X=C1,XB1=C2, andA3XA3*=C3. As applications, we give a new necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Hermitian solution to the system of matrix equationsA1X=C1,XB1=C2,A3XA3*=C3, andA4XA4*=C4, which was investigated by Wang and Wu, 2010, by rank equalities. In addition, extremal ranks of the generalized Hermitian Schur complementC4−A4A3~A4∗with respect to a Hermitian g-inverseA3~ofA3, which is a common solution to quaternion matrix equationsA1X=C1andXB1=C2, are also considered.

In this paper, a new necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a Hermitian solution as well as a new expression of the general Hermitian solution to the system of matrix equations A1X=C1 and A3XB3=C3 are derived. The max-min ranks and inertias of these Hermitian solutions with some interesting applications are shown. In particular, the max-min ranks and inertias of the Hermitian part of the general solution to this system are presented.

We establish the formulas of the maximal and minimal ranks of a 3 × 3 partial banded block matrix [Formula: see text] where X and Y are a pair variant quaternion matrices subject to linear quaternion matrix equations A1X=C1, XB1=C2, A2Y=D1, YB2=D2. As applications, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability to the quadratic system A1X=C1, XB1=C2, A2Y=D1, YB2=D2, XPY=J over the quaternion algebra. We also give the conditions for the rank invariance of the quadratic matrix expression XPY=J subject to the linear quaternion matrix equations mentioned above.

We consider the extremal inertias and ranks of the matrix expressionsf(X,Y)=A3-B3X-(B3X)*-C3YD3-(C3YD3)*, whereA3=A3*,  B3,  C3, andD3are known matrices andYandXare the solutions to the matrix equationsA1Y=C1,YB1=D1, andA2X=C2, respectively. As applications, we present necessary and sufficient condition for the previous matrix functionf(X,Y)to be positive (negative), non-negative (positive) definite or nonsingular. We also characterize the relations between the Hermitian part of the solutions of the above-mentioned matrix equations. Furthermore, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the system of matrix equationsA1Y=C1,YB1=D1,A2X=C2, andB3X+(B3X)*+C3YD3+(C3YD3)*=A3, and give an expression of the general solution to the above-mentioned system when it is solvable.

Some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the ?-skew-Hermitian solution quaternion matrix equations the system of matrix equations with ?-skew-Hermicity, A1X = C1, XB1 = C2, A2Y = C3, YB2 = C4, X = -X?*; Y=-Y?*, A3XA?*3 + B3YB?*3=C5, are established in this paper by using rank equalities of the coefficient matrices. The general solutions to the system and its special cases are provided when they are consistent. Within the framework of the theory of noncommutative row-column determinants, we also give determinantal representation formulas of finding their exact solutions that are analogs of Cramer?s rule. A numerical example is also given to demonstrate the main results.

We in this paper give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the general solution to the system of matrix equations [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] over the quaternion algebra ℍ, and present an expression of the general solution to this system when it is solvable. Using the results, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the system of matrix equations [Formula: see text] over ℍ to have a reducible solution as well as the representation of such solution to the system when the consistency conditions are met. A numerical example is also given to illustrate our results. As another application, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for two associated electronic networks to have the same branch current and branch voltage and give the expressions of the same branch current and branch voltage when the conditions are satisfied.

Abstract Using the semi-tensor product of matrices, this paper investigates cycles of graphs with application to cut-edges and the minimum spanning tree, and presents a number of new results and algorithms. Firstly, by defining a characteristic logical vector and using the matrix expression of logical functions, an algebraic description is obtained for cycles of graph, based on which a new necessary and sufficient condition is established to find all cycles for any graph. Secondly, using the necessary and sufficient condition of cycles, two algorithms are established to find all cut-edges and the minimum spanning tree, respectively. Finally, the study of an illustrative example shows that the results/algorithms presented in this paper are effective.

We establish the formulas of the maximal and minimal ranks of the common solution of certain linear matrix equations A1X = C1, XB2 = C2, A3XB3 = C3 and A4XB4 = C4 over an arbitrary division ring. Corresponding results in some special cases are given. As an application, necessary and sufficient conditions for the invariance of the rank of the common solution mentioned above are presented. Some previously known results can be regarded as special cases of our results.

Let H be the real quaternion algebra and Hmxn denote the set of all m x n matrices over H. For A ? Hm x n, we denote by A? the n x m matrix obtained by applying ? entrywise to the transposed matrix At, where ? is a nonstandard involution of H. A ? Hnxn is said to be ?-Hermitian if A = A?. In this paper, we construct a simultaneous decomposition of four real quaternion matrices with the same row number (A,B,C,D), where A is ?-Hermitian, and B,C,D are general matrices. Using this simultaneous matrix decomposition, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to some real quaternion matrix equations involving ?-Hermicity in terms of ranks of the given real quaternion matrices. We also present the general solutions to these real quaternion matrix equations when they are solvable. Finally some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results of this paper.

In this paper, the pure product singular value decomposition (PSVD) for four quaternion matrices is given. The system of coupled Sylvester-type quaternion matrix equations with five unknowns $X_{i}A_{i}-B_{i}X_{i+1}=C_{i}$ is considered by using the PSVD approach, where $A_{i},B_{i},$ and $C_{i}$ are given quaternion matrices of compatible sizes $(i=1,2,3,4)$. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to this system are derived. Moreover, the general solution to this system is presented when it is solvable.
