A family of iterative methods for computing Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix

Abstract

This paper improves on generalized properties of a family of iterative methods to compute the approximate inverses of square matrices originally proposed in [1]. And while the methods of [1] can be used to compute the inner inverses of any matrix, it has not been proved that these sequences converge (in norm) to a fixed inner inverse of the matrix. In this paper, it is proved that the sequences indeed are convergent to a fixed inner inverse of the matrix which is the Moore-Penrose inverse of the matrix. The convergence proof of these sequences is given by fundamental matrix calculus, and numerical experiments show that the third-order iterations are as good as the second-order iterations. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
