This second edition accounts for many major developments in generalized inverses while maintaining the informal and leisurely style of the 1974 first edition. Added material includes a chapter on applications, new exercises, and an appendix on the work of E.H. Moore.

"Generalized Inverses: Algorithms and Applications demonstrates some of the latest hot topics on generalized inverse matrices and their applications. Each article has been carefully selected to present substantial research results. Topics discussed herein include recent advances in exploring of generalizations of the core inverse, particularly in composing appropriate outer inverses and the Moore-Penrose inverse such as OMP, MPO and MPOMP inverses; in analyzing of properties of the BT inverse and the BT-order; in perturbation estimations for the Drazin inverse; in using generalized inverses to solve systems of quaternion matrix equations and Sylvester-type tensor equations under t-product; in computing and approximating the matrix generalized inverses by hyperpower family of iterative methods of arbitrary convergence order; and in studying of the weighted pseudoinverse matrices with singular indefinite weights"--

Provides comprehensive coverage of the mathematical theory of generalized inverses and a wide range of important and practical applications.

This book begins with the fundamentals of the generalized inverses, then moves to more advanced topics. It presents a theoretical study of the generalization of Cramer's rule, determinant representations of the generalized inverses, reverse order law of the generalized inverses of a matrix product, structures of the generalized inverses of structured matrices, parallel computation of the generalized inverses, perturbation analysis of the generalized inverses, an algorithmic study of the computational methods for the full-rank factorization of a generalized inverse, generalized singular value decomposition, imbedding method, finite method, generalized inverses of polynomial matrices, and generalized inverses of linear operators. This book is intended for researchers, postdocs, and graduate students in the area of the generalized inverses with an undergraduate-level understanding of linear algebra.

Generalized Inverses and Applications, contains the proceedings of an Advanced Seminar on Generalized Inverses and Applications held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on October 8-10, 1973 under the auspices of the university's Mathematics Research Center. The seminar provided a forum for discussing the basic theory of generalized inverses and their applications to analysis and operator equations. Numerical analysis and approximation methods are considered, along with applications to statistics and econometrics, optimization, system theory, and operations research. Comprised of 14 chapters, this book begins by describing a unified approach to generalized inverses of linear operators, with particular reference to algebraic, topological, extremal, and proximinal properties. The reader is then introduced to the algebraic aspects of the generalized inverse of a rectangular matrix; the Fredholm pseudoinverse; and perturbations and approximations for generalized inverses and linear operator equations. Subsequent chapters deal with various applications of generalized inverses, including programming, games, and networks, as well as estimation and aggregation in econometrics. This monograph will be of interest to mathematicians and students of mathematics.

The theory of generalized inverses of real or complex matrices has been expertly developed and documented. But the generalized inverses of matrices over rings have received comprehensive treatment only recently. In this book, the author, who contributed to the research and development of the theory, explains his results. The subject of generalized inverses of matrices over rings has now reached a state suitable for a comprehensive treatment - this book provides just that, for mathematicians, algebraists and control theorists.
