What is the common name for the Moore-Penrose inverse, which generalizes the concept of an inverse to non-square matrices?
Show answer
Pseudoinverse
The pseudoinverse A+ is used to find the best fit (least squares) solution to overdetermined systems where no exact solution exists. It is unique and can be computed using the SVD.
