A note on generalized inverses

Paul Embrechts () and Marius Hofert ()

Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 2013, vol. 77, issue 3, 423-432

Abstract: Motivated by too restrictive or even incorrect statements about generalized inverses in the literature, properties about these functions are investigated and proven. Examples and counterexamples show the importance of generalized inverses in mathematical theory and its applications. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013
