<abstract><p>Reverse order laws for generalized inverses of products of matrices are a class of algebraic matrix equalities that are composed of matrices and their generalized inverses, which can be used to describe the links between products of matrix and their generalized inverses and have been widely used to deal with various computational and applied problems in matrix analysis and applications. ROLs have been proposed and studied since 1950s and have thrown up many interesting but challenging problems concerning the establishment and characterization of various algebraic equalities in the theory of generalized inverses of matrices and the setting of non-commutative algebras. The aim of this paper is to provide a family of carefully thought-out research problems regarding reverse order laws for generalized inverses of a triple matrix product $ ABC $ of appropriate sizes, including the preparation of lots of useful formulas and facts on generalized inverses of matrices, presentation of known groups of results concerning nested reverse order laws for generalized inverses of the product $ AB $, and the derivation of several groups of equivalent facts regarding various nested reverse order laws and matrix equalities. The main results of the paper and their proofs are established by means of the matrix rank method, the matrix range method, and the block matrix method, so that they are easy to understand within the scope of traditional matrix algebra and can be taken as prototypes of various complicated reverse order laws for generalized inverses of products of multiple matrices.</p></abstract>

One of the typical forms of linear matrix expressions (linear matrix-valued functions) is given by $A + B_1X_1C_1 + \cdots + B_kX_kC_k$, where $X_1, \ldots, X_k$ are independent variable matrices of appropriate sizes, which include almost all matrices with unknown entries as its special cases. The domain of the matrix expression is defined to be all possible values of the matrix expressions with respect to $X_1, \ldots, X_k$. I this article, we approach some problems on the relationships between the domains of two linear matrix expressions by means of the block matrix method (BMM), the matrix rank method (MRM), and the matrix equation method (MEM). As application, we discuss some topics on the relationships among general solutions of some linear matrix equations and their reduced equations.

Some mixed-type reverse-order laws for the Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix product are established. Necessary and sufficient conditions for these laws to hold are found by the matrix rank method. Some applications and extensions of these reverse-order laws to the weighted Moore-Penrose inverse are also given.
