Moore–Penrose inverse. In mathematics, and in particular linear algebra, the Moore–Penrose inverse of a matrix , often called the pseudoinverse, is the most widely known generalization of the inverse matrix. [1] It was independently described by E. H. Moore in 1920, [2] Arne Bjerhammar in 1951, [3] and Roger Penrose in 1955. [4]
Matrix inversion is the process of finding the matrix which when multiplied by the original matrix gives the identity matrix. [2] Over a field, a square matrix that is not invertible is called singular or degenerate. A square matrix with entries in a field is singular if and only if its determinant is zero.
Sherman–Morrison formula. In linear algebra, the Sherman–Morrison formula, named after Jack Sherman and Winifred J. Morrison, computes the inverse of a " rank -1 update" to a matrix whose inverse has previously been computed. [1][2][3] That is, given an invertible matrix and the outer product of vectors and the formula cheaply computes an ...
Generalized inverse. In mathematics, and in particular, algebra, a generalized inverse (or, g-inverse) of an element x is an element y that has some properties of an inverse element but not necessarily all of them. The purpose of constructing a generalized inverse of a matrix is to obtain a matrix that can serve as an inverse in some sense for ...
An m × n rectangular Vandermonde matrix such that m ≤ n has rank m if and only if all x i are distinct. An m × n rectangular Vandermonde matrix such that m ≥ n has rank n if and only if there are n of the x i that are distinct. A square Vandermonde matrix is invertible if and only if the x i are distinct. An explicit formula for the ...
In mathematics, Gaussian elimination, also known as row reduction, is an algorithm for solving systems of linear equations. It consists of a sequence of row-wise operations performed on the corresponding matrix of coefficients. This method can also be used to compute the rank of a matrix, the determinant of a square matrix, and the inverse of ...
Definition. The transpose of a matrix A, denoted by AT, [3] ⊤A, A⊤, , [4][5] A′, [6] Atr, tA or At, may be constructed by any one of the following methods: Reflect A over its main diagonal (which runs from top-left to bottom-right) to obtain AT. Write the rows of A as the columns of AT.
In linear algebra, an orthogonal matrix, or orthonormal matrix, is a real square matrix whose columns and rows are orthonormal vectors. One way to express this is where QT is the transpose of Q and I is the identity matrix. This leads to the equivalent characterization: a matrix Q is orthogonal if its transpose is equal to its inverse: where Q ...
