Generalized Wedderburn Rank Reduction

Oskar Kędzierski

Abstract

We generalize the Wedderburn rank reduction formula by replacing the inverse with the Moore--Penrose pseudoinverse. In particular, this allows one to remove the non--singularity of a certain matrix from assumptions. The results implies in a straightforward way Nystroem, CUR decompositions, meta-factorization, and a result of Ameli, Shadden. We investigate which properties of the matrix are inherited by the generalized Wedderburn reduction. Reductions leading to the best low-rank approximation are explicitly described in terms of singular vectors. We give a self--contained calculation of the range and the nullspace of the projection $A(BA)^+B$ and prove that any projection can be expressed in this way.

Key Result

Lemma 1.1

Let $A\in\mathbb{K}^{m\times n}$ be any matrix. Let $x\in\mathbb{K}^n,\ y\in\mathbb{K}^m$. Assume that Then In general, if $X\in\mathbb{K}^{n\times k},\ Y\in\mathbb{K}^{m\times k}$ and $M\in\mathbb{K}^{k\times k}$ is given by is invertible then
