Procedure for finding Generalized Inverse Matrix

 

Let matrix, find a Generalized inverse matrix,  for

 

Assume that has rank.  Let and be two matrices, which are corresponding to elementary-row operations and elementary-column operations, respectively, to bring as

 

  

 

(Note: The procedure is similar to Gauss-Jordan method to reduced to reduced echelon form)

 

 is a matrix and the leading minor of with rank .

 

Let.  Then  is a generalized inverse of matrix .

 

 

Remarks:

 

and.  are called permutation matrices with its rows from one of the rows from identity matrix.
