The common Re-nonnegative definite and Re-positive definite solutions to the matrix equations $ A_1XA_1^\ast = C_1 $ and $ A_2XA_2^\ast = C_2 $

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the common Re-nonnegative definite (Re-nnd) and Re-positive definite (Re-pd) solutions to a pair of linear matrix equations $ A_1XA_1^\ast = C_1, \ A_2XA_2^\ast = C_2 $ and present some necessary and sufficient conditions for their solvability as well as the explicit expressions for the general common Re-nnd and Re-pd solutions when the consistent conditions are satisfied.
