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 ...

need a Jacobian of an orthonormal basis for the column space of a matrix $\mathbf{X}$
I require to find a linear decomposition of any tall matrix $\mathbf{X}$ $\in \mathbb{R}^{M \times N}$, where $M \geq N$, into some uniquely defined decomposition $\mathbf{X}$ $=$ $\mathbf{A}$ $\...

Showing existence of symplectic transformations preserving a quadratic form
Question: I need help to prove the following statement.
Let $W_i:=w_iw_i^T\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$, for $n$ even, be symmetric rank-1 matrices, $J=-J^T$ the canonical symplectic matrix and define ...

Optimization of eigenvalue of matrix with discrete variables
Suppose we have a matrix $H$ like this, where $H_{ii}$ is a discrete variable (for example out of $[1,2,3]$) and $H_{ij}$ is a value that depends on the two adjacent values ($H_{ii}$ and $H_{jj}$). $H$...

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: $\sigma_{min}$...

Decompose a $3 \times 3$ orthogonal matrix into a product of rotation and reflection matrices
It holds that every orthogonal matrix can be expressed as a product of rotation and reflection matrices.
We can prove that every $2 \times 2$ orthogonal matrix can be represented in the form

Classifying maps of finitely generated abelian groups up to automorphism
We have a nice characterization of f.g. abelian groups that factors them into cyclic groups. A homomorphism between them is just a matrix of maps $\mathbb{Z}_{p^i} \to \mathbb{Z}_{p^j}$ between the ...

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 ...
