Generalized inverse

In mathematics, a generalized inverse of a matrix A is a matrix that has some properties of the inverse matrix of A but not necessarily all of them. Formally, given a matrix ${\displaystyle A\in \mathbb {R} ^{n\times m}}$ and a matrix ${\displaystyle A^{\mathrm {g} }\in \mathbb {R} ^{m\times n}}$, ${\displaystyle A^{\mathrm {g} }}$ is a generalized inverse of ${\displaystyle A}$ if it satisfies the condition ${\displaystyle AA^{\mathrm {g} }A=A}$.
