Key Concepts

Singular Values

Singular values are defined as the square roots of the eigenvalues of the matrix multiplied by its transpose. They provide measures of the magnitude of the action of a matrix on different directions. In the context of a 1 × n matrix, the singular value is simply the norm of the non-zero vector, representing the only non-zero singular value while all others (if any) are zero.

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)

The Singular Value Decomposition is a factorization of any matrix into the form U?V?, where U and V are orthogonal matrices and ? is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal entries are the singular values. In the case of a 1 × n matrix, the SVD specialized by the dimensions leads to a 1 × 1 orthogonal matrix U (which could be ±1), a 1 × n matrix reconstructed from the singular value, and an n × n orthogonal matrix V. This decomposition breaks the original matrix into the product of rotations/reflections and diagonal scaling.

Pseudoinverse

The pseudoinverse, or Moore-Penrose inverse, provides a method to compute inverse-like properties for non-square or singular matrices. For a 1 × n matrix, the pseudoinverse is typically obtained by transposing the matrix and normalizing by the square of the singular value (assuming it is nonzero), thereby ensuring that the pseudoinverse satisfies the required properties such as minimizing the least-squares error in solutions of linear systems.
