Given two bounded linear operators F , G on a Banach space X such that G 2 F = G F 2 = 0, we derive an explicit expression for the Drazin inverse of F + G. For this purpose, firstly, we obtain a formula for the resolvent of an auxiliary operator matrix in the form M = F I G F G . From the provided representation of (F + G) D several special cases are considered. In particular, we recover the case G F = 0 studied by Hartwig et al. [R.E. Hartwig, G. Wang, Y. Wei, Some additive results on Drazin inverse, Linear Algebra Appl. 322 (2001) 207-217] for matrices and by Djordjević and Wei [D.S. Djordjević, Y. Wei, Additive results for the generalized Drazin inverse, J. Aust. Math. Soc. 73 (1) (2002) 115-126] for operators. Finally, we apply our results to obtain representations for the Drazin inverse of operator matrices in the form M = A B C D which are extensions of some cases given in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
