Algebraic proof methods for identities of matrices and operators: Improvements of Hartwig’s triple reverse order law

作者:

Highlights:

• We illustrate a recent method for proving identities of matrices and linear operators.

• Computations are done in an abstract ring ignoring domains and codomains.

• The theory ensures that identities are also valid in terms of matrices or operators.

• We prove and generalize Hartwig’s result on three Moore-Penrose inverses.

• Both hand-made and computer-assisted proofs with the package OperatorGB are discussed.
