Minors of the Moore-Penrose inverse (Q1316182): Difference between revisions

The well-known Jacobi identity for the minors of an inverse matrix \(A^{-1}\) is generalized to the minors of the Moore-Penrose inverse \(A^ +\) of an arbitrary real \(m \times n\)-matrix \(A\) of rank \(r \geq 1\). As a consequence, conditions are given in the case \(m=n\), under which all principal minors of \(A^ +\) are nonnegative.
