Idempotency of linear combinations of an idempotent matrix and a \(t\)-potent matrix that commute. (English) Zbl 1077.15022

Benítez, J.; Thome, N.

Linear Algebra Appl. 403, 414-418 (2005).

Authors’ summary: This paper deals with idempotent matrices (i.e., \(A^2 = A\)) and \(t\)-potent matrices (i.e., \(B^t = B)\). When both matrices commute, we derive a list of all complex numbers \(c_1\) and \(c_2\) such that \(c_{1}A + c_{2}B\) is an idempotent matrix. In addition, the real case is also analyzed.
Reviewer’s addendum: As starting point in the paper the previous investigations J. K. Baksalary and O. M. Baksalary [Linear Algebra Appl. 321, No. 1–3, 3–7 (2000; Zbl 0984.15021); ibid. 341, No. 1–3, 129–142 (2002; Zbl 0997.15011) and J. K. Baksalary, O. M. Baksalary and G. P. H. Styan, ibid. 354, No. 1–3, 21–34 (2002; Zbl 1016.15027)] are used.
