Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse
In mathematics, and in particular linear algebra, a pseudoinverse A of a matrix A is a generalization of the inverse matrix. The most widely known type of matrix pseudoinverse is the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse, which was independently described by E. H. Moore in 1920, Arne Bjerhammar in 1951 and Roger Penrose in 1955. Earlier, Fredholm had introduced the concept of a pseudoinverse of integral operators in 1903. When referring to a matrix, the term pseudoinverse, without further specification, is often used to indicate the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse. The term generalized inverse is sometimes used as a synonym for pseudoinverse.
