A note on invariance of the eigenvalues, singular values, and norms of matrix products involving generalized inverses (Q1184479): Difference between revisions

It is shown that the set of singular values of the matrix product \(AB^ -C\), as well as any norm of this product, is invariant with respect to the choice of generalized inverse \(B^ -\) of \(B\), if and only if \(AB^ -C\) is invariant with respect to the choice of generalized inverse. In contrast, invariance of the eigenvalues of \(AB^ -C\) with respect to the choice of generalized inverse does not require invariance of \(AB^ -C\).
