Abstract
Matrix expressions composed by generalized inverses can generally be written as f(A

are a family of given matrices of appropriate sizes, and (·)− denotes a generalized inverse of matrix. Once such an expression is given, people are primarily interested in its uniqueness (invariance property) with respect to the choice of the generalized inverses. As such an example, this article describes a general method for deriving necessary and sufficient conditions for the matrix equality A
