- Drazin inverse
-
In mathematics, the Drazin inverse, named after Michael P. Drazin, is a kind of generalized inverse of a matrix.
Let A be a square matrix. The index of A is the least nonnegative integer k such that rank(Ak+1) = rank(Ak). The Drazin inverse of A is the unique matrix AD, which satisfies
If A is invertible with inverse A − 1, then AD = A − 1.
The Drazin inverse of a matrix of index 1 is called the group inverse or {1,2,5}-inverse and denoted A#.
A projection P, as P2 = P, has index 1 and PD = P.
If A is a nilpotent matrix (for example a shift matrix), then AD = 0.
The hyper-power sequence is
- for convergence notice that
For A0: = αA or any regular A0 with A0A = AA0 chosen such that the sequence tends to its Drazin inverse,
