Cramer's Rule for Generalized Inverse Solutions of Some Matrices Equations

By a generalized inverse of a given matrix, we mean a matrix that exists for a larger class of matrices than the nonsingular matrices, that has some of the properties of the usual inverse, and that agrees with inverse when given matrix happens to be nonsingular. In theory, there are many different generalized inverses that exist. We shall consider the Moore Penrose, weighted Moore-Penrose, Drazin and weighted Drazin inverses. New determinantal representations of these generalized inverse based on their limit representations are introduced in this paper. Application of this new method allows us to obtain analogues classical adjoint matrix. Using the obtained analogues of the adjoint matrix, we get Cramer's rules for the least squares solution with the minimum norm and for the Drazin inverse solution of singular linear systems. Cramer's rules for the minimum norm least squares solutions and the Drazin inverse solutions of the matrix equations ${\rm {\bf A}}{\rm {\bf X}} = {\rm {\bf D}}$, ${\rm {\bf X}}{\rm {\bf B}} = {\rm {\bf D}}$ and ${\rm {\bf A}}{\rm {\bf X}}{\rm {\bf B}} ={\rm {\bf D}} $ are also obtained, where ${\rm {\bf A}}$, ${\rm {\bf B}}$ can be singular matrices of appropriate size. Finally, we derive determinantal representations of solutions of the differential matrix equations, ${\bf X}'+ {\bf A}{\bf X}={\bf B}$ and ${\bf X}'+{\bf X}{\bf A}={\bf B}$, where the matrix ${\bf A}$ is singular.
