In this figure the next definitions are used A - projection operator, B - pseudo-inverse operator for the image parameters a,( ), C - empirical posterior restoration of the FDD function w(a, ), E - optimal estimator. The projection operator A is non-observable due to the Kalman criteria [10] which is the main singularity for this problem. This leads to use the two step estimation procedure. First, the pseudo-inverse operator B has to be found among the regularization techniques in the class of linear filters. In the second step the optimal estimation d (n) for the pseudo-inverse image parameters d,(n) has to be done in the presence of transformed noise j(n). 

Thus the transfonnation matrix for the gradient is the inverse transpose of that for the coordinates. In the case of transfonnation from Cartesian displacement coordmates (Ax) to internal coordinates (Aq), the transfonnation is singular becanse the internal coordinates do not specify the six translational and rotational degrees of freedom. One conld angment the internal coordinate set by the latter bnt a simpler approach is to rise the generalized inverse [58]... 

Although still preliminary, the study that provides the most detailed test of the theory for the electronic properties of the ID carbon nanotubes, thus far, is the combined STM/STS study by Oik and Heremans[13]. In this STM/STS study, more than nine individual multilayer tubules with diameters ranging from 1.7 to 9.5 nm were examined. The 7-Fplots provide evidence for both metallic and semiconducting tubules[13,14]. Plots of dl/dV indicate maxima in the ID density of states, suggestive of predicted singularities in the ID density of states for carbon nanotubes. This STM/ STS study further shows that the energy gap for the semiconducting tubules is proportional to the inverse tubule diameter l/<7, and is independent of the tubule chirality. 

In order for the inverse of [C CT] to exist, C must have at least as many columns as rows. Since C has one row for each component and one column for each sample, this means that we must have at least as many samples as components in order to be able to compute equation [33]. This would certainly seem to be a reasonable constraint. Also, if there is any linear dependence among the rows or columns of C, [C CT] will be singular and its inverse will not exist. One of the most common ways of introducing linear dependency is to construct a sample set by serial dilution. 

If the inverse in Eq. (2.8) does not exist then the metric is singular, in which case the parameterization of the manifold of states is redundant. That is, the parameters are not independent, or splitting of the manifold occurs, as in potential curve crossing in quantum molecular dynamics. In both cases, the causes of the singularity must be studied and revisions made to the coordinate charts on the manifold (i.e. the way the operators are parameterized) in order to proceed with calculations. 

Unlike prisms, in this class of bodies uniqueness requires knowledge of the density. This theorem was proved by P. Novikov. The simplest example of starshaped bodies is a spherical mass. Of course, prisms are also star-shaped bodies but due to their special form, that causes field singularities at corners, the inverse problem is unique even without knowledge of the density. It is obvious that these two classes of bodies include a wide range of density distributions besides it is very possible that there are other classes of bodies for which the solution of the inverse problem is unique. It seems that this information is already sufficient to think that non-uniqueness is not obvious but rather a paradox. 

It should be noted that in the case of a singular matrix A, the dimensions of V and A are pxr and rxr, respectively, where r is smaller than p. The expression in eq. (29.53) allows us to compute the generalized inverse, specifically the Moore-Penrose inverse, of a symmetric matrix A from the expression ... 

Any non-singular square matrix A possesses an inverse matrix A defined as... 

The matrix X is easily seen to be unitary. Since the n eigenvectors are linearly independent, the matrix X is non-singular and its inverse X exists. If we multiply equation (1.57) from the left by X , we obtain... 

Secondly, although stable solutions covering the entire temporal range of interest are attainable, the spectra may not be well resolved that is, for a given dataset and noise, a limit exists on the smallest resolvable structure (or separation of structures) in the Laplace inversion spectrum [54]. Estimates can be made on this resolution parameter based on a singular-value decomposition analysis of K and the signal-to-noise ratio of the data [56], It is important to keep in mind the concept of the spectral resolution in order to interpret the LI results, such as DDIF, properly. 

If the inputs are correlated, then the inverse of the covariance matrix does not exist and the OLS coefficients cannot be computed. Even with weakly correlated inputs and a low observations-to-inputs ratio, the covariance matrix can be nearly singular, making the OLS solution extremely sensitive to small changes in the measured data. In such cases, OLS is not appropriate for empirical modeling. 

It is noted that the inverse of a matrix only exists if >1 0. Any matrix with A = 0 is called singular. 

It is a common problem to solve a set of homogeneous equations of the form Ax = 0. If the matrix is non-singular the only solutions are the trivial ones, x = x2 = = xn = 0. It follows that the set of homogeneous equations has non-trivial solutions only if A = 0. This means that the matrix has no inverse and a new strategy is required in order to get a solution. 

Finally, since X is non-singular its inverse X-1 exists and premultiplication by X-1 yields the desired result... 

Note that the denominator of (A. 17), the determinant of A = A, is a scalar. If A = 0, the inverse does not exist. A square matrix with determinant equal to zero is called a singular matrix. Conversely, for a nonsingular matrix A, det A 0. 

B and C are both noted A 1 which is called the inverse matrix of A. If A has an inverse, it is said to be regular. If B does not exist, A is said to be singular. The demonstration of the following useful properties will be found in standard textbooks... 

Within the Matlab s numerical precision X is singular, i.e. the two rows (and columns) are identical, and this represents the simplest form of linear dependence. In this context, it is convenient to introduce the rank of a matrix as the number of linearly independent rows (and columns). If the rank of a square matrix is less than its dimensions then the matrix is call rank-deficient and singular. In the latter example, rank(X)=l, and less than the dimensions of X. Thus, matrix inversion is impossible due to singularity, while, in the former example, matrix X must have had full rank. Matlab provides the function rank in order to test for the rank of a matrix. For more information on this topic see Chapter 2.2, Solving Systems of Linear Equations, the Matlab manuals or any textbook on linear algebra. 

Let s assume the elements ci, a and cz of vector c are the unknowns. Thus, the system is comprised of three equations with three unknowns. Such systems of n equations with n unknowns have exactly one solution if none of the individual equations can be expressed by linear combinations of the remaining ones, i.e. if they are linearly independent. Then, the coefficient matrix A is of full rank and non-singular and its inverse, A1, exists such that right multiplication of equation (2.20) with A 1 allows the determination of the unknowns. 

For the computation of the pseudo-inverse, it is crucial that the vectors f j are not parallel, or more correctly, that they are linearly independent. Otherwise, the matrix FlF is singular and cannot be inverted. Matlab issues a warning. We can gain a certain level of understanding by adapting Figure 4-10 ... 

In a strictly mathematical sense this matrix is not singular but numerically it is rank deficient and has effectively a rank of only 4. Calculation of its pseudo-inverse consequently is impossible, or at least numerically unsafe. What can we do about that ... 

Highly correlating (collinear) variables make the covariance matrix singular, and consequently the inverse cannot be calculated. This has important consequences on the applicability of several methods. Data from chemistry often contain collinear variables, for instance the concentrations of similar elements, or IR absorbances at neighboring wavelengths. Therefore, chemometrics prefers methods that do not need the inverse of the covariance matrix, as for instance PCA, and PLS regression. The covariance matrix becomes singular if... 

Matrix inversion is analogous to division. Multiplication of A with its inverse A-1 gives an identity matrix, / (see Figure A.2.6). The inverse is only defined for square matrices that are not singular. A matrix is singular if at least one row (or column) contains equal numbers, or at least one column (or row) is a linear combination of...
