Abstract

Let $A=I-uv^T$, where $u$ and $v$ are two $n$-dimensional complex vectors with $v^T u=0$. Thus $A$ is not diagonalizable. We find all solutions of the quadratic matrix equation $AXA=XAX$. This is a continuation of the work [Computers Math. Appl., 72(6):1541–1548, 2016] from the case of diagonalizable elementary matrices to non-diagonalizable ones.
