<abstract> <p>In this paper, we discuss different characteristics of the BT-inverse of a square matrix introduced by Baksalary and Trenkler [On a generalized core inverse, Appl. Math. Comput., <bold>236</bold> (2014), 450-457]. While the BT-inverse is defined by a expression, we present some necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix to be the BT-inverse. Then we give a canonical form of BT-inverse and investigate the relationships between BT-inverse and other generalized inverses by Core-EP decomposition. Some properties of BT-inverse concerned with some classes of special matrix are identified by Core-EP decomposition. Furthermore new representations of BT-inverse are given by the maximal classes of matrices.</p> </abstract>
