Abstract

We establish characterization for the W-weighted Drazin inverse of an arbitrary rectangular matrix which reduces to the well-known result if the matrix is nonsingular. Also, a Cramer rule for finding the unique W-weighted Drazin inverse solution x ∈ R[(AW)k1] of special restricted linear equations WAWx = b, b ∈ R[(WA)k2] is presented, and reduces to the classical Cramer rule if A is invertible.
