Pseudo-Inverse


A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview

By means of the singular value decomposition $ USV^*$ of an $ m\times n$ matrix $ A$, the solution of the minimization problem $ \Vert Ax-b\Vert _2\to\min$ can be expressed in the form

$\displaystyle x = A^+b,\quad A^+ = VS^+U^*,
$

where $ A^+$ is the so-called pseudo-inverse of $ A$ (Moore-Penrose inverse), and $ S^+$ is an $ n\times m$ diagonal matrix of the form

$\displaystyle S^+ =\operatorname{diag}(1/s_1,\ldots,1/s_k,0,\ldots,0)\, ,
$

containing the inverse values of the singular ones.
