Matrix Inverse

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Matrix Inverse () is a monadic primitive function that returns the inverse of a simple numeric array of rank 2 or lower. Some dialects automatically apply it to rank-2 subarrays of higher-rank arguments. It shares the glyph Quad Divide (often called Domino) with the dyadic function Matrix Divide.

Examples

Matrix Inverse computes the ordinary inverse if the argument is a square matrix. DOMAIN ERROR is raised if the given matrix is not invertible.

When the argument is a scalar or vector, or the given matrix has more rows than columns (r>c where r c≡⍴X), Matrix Inverse computes specific forms of generalized inverse called Moore-Penrose inverse. For a scalar, the result is the reciprocal of the argument; for a vector, the result equals (+X)÷X+.×+X. For a non-square matrix, the result equals (+⍉X)⌹(+⍉X)+.×X (where +⍉X is the conjugate transpose of X).
