Introduction The Hadamard and Kronecker products are studied and applied widely in matrix theory, statistics, econometrics and many other subjects. Partitioned matrices are often encountered in statistical applications. For partitioned matrices, The Khatri-Rao product viewed as a generalized Hadamard product, is discussed and used in [7, 6, 14] and the Tracy-Singh product, as a generalized Kronecker product, is discussed and applied in [7, 5, 12]. Most results provided are equalities associated with the products. Rao, Kleffe and Liu in [13, 8] presented several matrix inequalities involving the Khatri-Rao product, which seem to be most existing results. In [7], Liu established the connection between Khatri-Rao and Tracy-Singh products based on two selection matrices Z1 and Z2 . This connection play an important role to give inequalities involving the two products with statistical applications. In [10], Mond and Pečarić presented matrix versions, with matrix weights. In [2, (2004)], Hiai and Zhan proved the following inequalities: (*) kABk kA + Bk ≤ , kAk · kBk kAk + kBk kA ◦ Bk kA + Bk ≤ kAk · kBk kAk + kBk for any invariant norm with kdiag(1, 0, . . . , 0)k ≥ 1 and A, B are nonzero positive definite matrices. In the present paper, we make a further study of the Khatri-Rao and TracySingh products.

Basic Definitions and Results Basic Definitions on Matrix Products We introduce the definitions of five known matrix products for non-partitioned and partitioned matrices. These matrix products are defined as follows: Definition 2.1. Consider matrices A = (aij ) and C = (cij ) of order m × n and B = (bkl ) of order p × q. The Kronecker and Hadamard products are defined as follows: 1. Kronecker product: A ⊗ B = (aij B)ij , (2.1) Matrix Equalities and Inequalities Involving Khatri-Rao and Tracy-Singh Sums Zeyad Al Zhour and Adem Kilicman where aij B is the ijth submatrix of order p×q and A⊗B of order mp×nq.

The Tracy-Singh and Khatri-Rao products are defined as follows: 1. Tracy-Singh product: (2.4) AΠB = (Aij ΠB)ij = (Aij ⊗ Bkl )kl ij , where Aij is the ijth submatrix of order mi × nj , Bkl is the klth submatrix of order pk × ql , Aij ΠB is the ijth submatrix of order mi p × nj q, Aij ⊗ Bkl is the klth submatrix of order mi pk × nj ql and AΠB of order mp × nq.

Note that (i) For a non partitioned matrix A, their A ∗ B is A ⊗ B, i.e., for A = (aij ),where aij is scalar, we have, A ∗ B = (aij ⊗ Bij )ij = (aij B)ij = A ⊗ B. (ii) For non partitioned matrices A and B, their A ∗ B is A ◦ B, i.e., for A = (aij ) and B = (bij ), where aij and bij are scalars, we have, A ∗ B = (aij ⊗ bij )ij = (aij bij )ij = A ◦ B. 2.2. Basic Connections and Results on Matrix Products We introduce the connection between the Katri-Rao and Tracy-Singh products and the connection between the Kronecker and Hadamard products, as a special case, which are important in creating inequalities involving these products. We write A ≥ B in the Löwner ordering sense that A − B ≥ 0 is positive semi-definite, for symmetric matrices A and B of the same order and A+ and A∗ indicate the Moore-Penrose inverse and the conjugate of the matrix A, respectively.
