Vanishing Pseudo Schur Complements, Reverse Order Laws, Absorption Laws   and Inheritance Properties
  The problem of when the vanishing of a (generalized) Schur complement of a block matrix (corresponding to the leading principal subblock) implies that the other (generalized) Schur complement (corresponding to the trailing principal subblock) is zero, is revisited. A simple proof is presented. Absorption laws for two important classes of generalized inverses are considered next. Inheritance properties of the generalized Schur compements in relation to the absorption laws are derived. Inheritance by the generalized principal pivot transform is also studied.
