The familiar notion of the determinant is generalised to include rectangular matrices. An expression for a normalised generalised inverse of a matrix is given in terms of its determinant and a possible generalisation of the Schur complement is discussed as a simple application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
