The paper introduces the Bott–Duffin Drazin inverse (in short, BDD inverse) of a complex square matrix, which is a generalization of the Bott–Duffin inverse and the Bott–Duffin group inverse. We study some properties, characterizations and representations of the BDD inverse. Finally, we further explore its applications in solving a class of restricted linear equations in electrical network theory.
