Block matrix pseudoinverse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, a block matrix pseudoinverse is a formula for the pseudoinverse of a partitioned matrix. This is useful for decomposing or approximating many algorithms updating parameters in signal processing, which are based on the least squares method.

Derivation

[edit]

Consider a column-wise partitioned matrix:

If the above matrix is full column rank, the Moore–Penrose inverse matrices of it and its transpose are

This computation of the pseudoinverse requires (n + p)-square matrix inversion and does not take advantage of the block form.

To reduce computational costs to n- and p-square matrix inversions and to introduce parallelism, treating the blocks separately, one derives [1]

where orthogonal projection matrices are defined by

The above formulas are not necessarily valid if does not have full rank – for example, if , then

Application to least squares problems

[edit]

Given the same matrices as above, we consider the following least squares problems, which appear as multiple objective optimizations or constrained problems in signal processing. Eventually, we can implement a parallel algorithm for least squares based on the following results.

Column-wise partitioning in over-determined least squares

[edit]

Suppose a solution solves an over-determined system:

Using the block matrix pseudoinverse, we have

Therefore, we have a decomposed solution:

Row-wise partitioning in under-determined least squares

[edit]

Suppose a solution solves an under-determined system:

The minimum-norm solution is given by

Using the block matrix pseudoinverse, we have
