Advice on showing this matrix equality












1












$begingroup$


Let $A$ be an $n times m$ matrix where the first collumn of $A$ is a $1$ vector
So that $A_{i,1}=1 $for $i = 1,2,dots,n$.



Define $G$ as a generalised inverse of the matrix $A^T A$, so that



$$A^T A G A^T A = A^T A$$,



Further define $B$ as the $ntimes n$ matrix of $1$'s. So that $B_{i,j}=1$ for all $i,j$.



My problem is to show that



$$AGA^TB = B$$



I already proved by properties of $G$ that



$$A G A^T A = A$$



And so, at least to me, I think I need to use this fact combined with the fact the first collumn of $A$ is the $1$ vector to show



$$AGA^T B = B$$



I was wondering if it would be right to partition $A$ as



$$A = [1 space C]$$



for some matrix $C$. Then, assuming this is a valid use of partitioning (??), this would give



$$AGA^T [1 space C] = [1 space C]$$



And hence



$$AGA^T 1 = 1$$



$$A G A^T 11^T = 11^T$$



$$AGA^T B = B$$



But I feel like is not valid. Any advice?

When computing a general matrix product $Z = XY$, any column of $Z$ depends only on the left factor $X$ and the corresponding column of the right factor $Y$.



Now apply this to the product $AGA^T cdot A = A$.
