Characterizations of structured Bohemian matrices and their Inner and Outer Bohemian Inverses

Abstract: In this paper, we systematically define and characterize various classes of Bohemian matrices with respect to the population $\mathbb{P}={0, \pm 1}$, focusing on their inner and outer Bohemian inverses. The classes under consideration include rank-one Bohemian matrices, as well as higher-rank Bohemian matrix classes, specifically Classes I, II, and III. For rank-one Bohemian matrices, a complete description of the outer Bohemian inverse sets is provided along with their cardinalities. Additionally, new insights into inner Bohemian inverses and their cardinalities are given. Characterizations of the complete set of inner inverses for the Class III matrices and full-row rank Class II matrices are obtained. Furthermore, we study the sets of rank-one outer inverses for Classes I and II, and examine the sets of rank $r$ outer inverses for full-row rank Class II matrices of rank $r$. Moreover, the set of outer inverses is completely characterized for rank-two full-row rank Class III matrices. In particular, we provide an explicit formula for the cardinality of the set of outer Bohemian inverses for rank-two full-row rank Class I matrices.
