Abstract

Suppose $T$ and $S$ are Moore-Penrose invertible operators between
Hilbert C*-module. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the
reverse order law $(TS)^{ dag} =S^{ dag} T^{ dag}$ to hold.
In particular, we show that the equality holds if and only if $Ran(T^{*}TS) subseteq Ran(S)$ and $Ran(SS^{*}T^{*}) subseteq Ran(T^{*}),$ which was studied first by Greville [{it SIAM Rev. 8 (1966) 518--521}] for matrices.
