摘要
We give in this paper a group of closed-form formulas for the maximal and minimal ranks and inertias of the linear Hermitian matrix function A - BX - (BX)* with respect to a variable matrix X. As applications, we derive the extremal ranks and inertias of the matrix X +/- X*, where X is a solution to the matrix equation AXB = C, and then give necessary and sufficient conditions for the matrix equation AXB = C to have Hermitian, definite and Re-definite solutions. In addition, we give closed-form formulas for the extremal ranks and inertias of the difference X-1 - X-2, where X-1 and X-2 are Hermitian solutions of two matrix equations A(1)X(1)A(1)* = C-1 and A(2)X(2)A(2)* = C-2. and then use the formulas to characterize relations between Hermitian solutions of the two equations.
