How to estimate the inverse of a non-invertible matrix?

So I'm working on a machine learning problem where my solution requires taking the inverse of a matrix at some point. The problem is that this matrix is sometimes non-invertible. In theory the the ...

For any SVD $A = U\Sigma V^T$ of a positive definite, symmetric matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, we have $U = V$.

First of all, I've read through all of the answers here and here, but neither of those threads was able to give completely satisfying answers. Now, I understand that, if $A$ is symmetric and positive ...

Relationship between BCH code and asymmetric Ramanujan bipartite graph ( possibility for a research collaboration)

I have been working on a research topic that deals with the binary matrices arising from the BCH codes by selecting code vectors of specific weight while discarding the rest of the code vectors that ...

Woodbury matrix identity with a minus sign

Is there a form of Woodbury matrix identity $(A + UCV )^{-1} = A^{-1} - A^{-1}U (C^{-1} + VA^{-1}U )^{-1} VA^{-1}$ But with a minus sign? i.e. $(A - UCV )^{-1}$ It seems like I have to painfully ...

Proving that the rank of the following matrix is $6$.

In my research work I have come across a matrix which has the rank equals to $6$. I begin defining my problem as follows: Let $P \in \{0,1\}^{7 \times 7}$ denote the right shift matrix defined by $ P =...

Absolute value of elements of b=Ax and the minimum singular value of A

For $b=Ax$, is there a way to relate the minimum absolute value of the element of $b$, $\min|b_i|$, and the minimum singular value, $\sigma_{min}$, of $A$? What I want is something like: $\sigma_{min}$...

Is it true that $D A P D^T = A D P D^T$ if $P$ is symmetrical, positive definite and $D$ is diagonal?

I know in general, matrix multiplication is not commutative, but would it be true in this special case? $D A P D^T = A D P D^T$ where $A, D, P$ are all $n by n$ matrix. But $P$ is symmetrical and ...

What is the square root of a square matrix squared? [closed]

Admittedly, made the title a little funny, but this is a valid question. I have come across the following equation $$ I x^2=AA $$ where $I$ is a unit matrix, $A$ is a square matrix of the same ...

Compressed image using SVD draws a clear line between part that's blank and part with a drawing. Why? [closed]

I'm trying to compress grayscale images using SVD. This is the original image: Yes, there's a lot of blank space. I then choose the x% largest singular values, perform the transformed matrices ...

For a real symmetric matrix, is the product of two factors of its rank decomposition (right times left) also symmetric?

Recently, I am learning generalized inverse of a matrix. Given a real symmetric matrix $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ with ${\rm rank}(A)=r$, suppose the rank decomposition of $A$ is given as follows: $$...

Singular values on streching the vectors

For the following statement: for a vector $x$ and a matrix $A$, if the vector $x$ is not in the null space of $A$, the vector $x$ will at least be stretched by the smallest non-zero singular value, i....

For a symmetric matrix $B$ and following four relevant matrices $P,Q,C,D$, what's the relation between $QP$ and $CDC^{\rm T}$?

Suppose $B\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ is a symmetric matrix with ${\rm rank}(B)=r$. Then $B$ is equivalent to $\tilde{B}$ in (1), where $I_{r}$ denotes the identity matrix of order $r$. That is, there ...

Find one quartic root of a matrix

I have found the previous spectral decomposition of the matrix $$A=\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0&1&1\\ 1&0&1 \end{pmatrix}.$$ You can see I verified such decomposition indeed ...
