Abstract:

By the relation of generalized quadratic matrices to idempotent matrices and the known results on rank and nullity for linear combinations of idempotent matrices, we studied the invariance of rank and nullity for linear combinations of generalized quadratic matrices, which unified and generalized the related results in literature on rank and nullity for linear combinations of scalarpotent matrices, scalarinvolutory matrices and quadratic matrices.

Key words: generalized quadratic matrix, linear combination, rank, nullity
