Existence and Uniqueness of the Block Matrix with Two Row Blocks and Two Column Blocks

Given real matrices A, B, C and D of sizes m x m, m x n, n x m and n x n, there is exactly one real (m+n) x (m+n) matrix whose four blocks of entries are those of A, B, C and D.

Statement

In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let m,n∈Nm,n\in\mathbb{N}, and for p∈Np\in\mathbb{N} let [p][p] be as in Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices §indices. Let AA, BB, CC and DD be real matrices of sizes m×mm\times m, m×nm\times n, n×mn\times m and n×nn\times n respectively, with entries AklA_{kl}, BkjB_{kj}, CilC_{il} and DijD_{ij}. By Splitting the Segment [m+n] into [m] and a Shifted Copy of [n] §sum and Splitting the Segment [m+n] into [m] and a Shifted Copy of [n] §shift, m+n∈Nm+n\in\mathbb{N}, [m]⊆[m+n][m]\subseteq[m+n] and m+i∈[m+n]m+i\in[m+n] for i∈[n]i\in[n], so all indices below lie in [m+n][m+n].

There is exactly one M∈Mm+n(R)M\in\mathcal{M}_{m+n}(\mathbb{R}) such that, for all k,l∈[m]k,l\in[m] and i,j∈[n]i,j\in[n],

Mkl=Akl,Mk, m+j=Bkj,Mm+i, l=Cil,Mm+i, m+j=Dij.M_{kl}=A_{kl},\qquad M_{k,\,m+j}=B_{kj},\qquad M_{m+i,\,l}=C_{il},\qquad M_{m+i,\,m+j}=D_{ij}.
