Full Rank Factorizations.

Theorem 1 (Harville, Theorem 4.4.8). Let A represent an m×n nonnull matrixof rank r. Then, there exist an m × r matrix B and an r × n matrix T suchthat A = BT . Moreover, for any m× r matrix B and r× n matrix T such thatA = BT , rank(B) = rank(T ) = r, that is, B has full column rank and T hasfull row rank.

Example 2. Consider the matrix

A =

1 3 1 42 7 3 91 5 3 11 2 0 8

1 0 −2 00 1 1 00 0 0 10 0 0 0

= B.

B is in reduced echelon form. Then C is obtained by removing the third columnof A, the only one which is not a pivot column, and F by getting rid of the lastrow of zeroes, so

C =

1 3 42 7 91 5 11 2 8

, F =

1 0 −2 00 1 1 00 0 0 1

.

It is straightforward to check that

A =

1 3 1 42 7 3 91 5 3 11 2 0 8

=

1 3 42 7 91 5 11 2 8

1 0 −2 00 1 1 00 0 0 1

= CF.

Explicit Formula for A†.C.C. MacDuffee apparently was the first to point out, in private commu-

nications about 1959, that a full-rank factorization of a matrix A leads to anexplicit formula for its Moore-Penrose inverse, A†.

We now show the existence. Let A = FG be a rank factorization. Then itcan be easily verified that

F † = (F ∗F )−1F ∗, G† = G∗(GG∗)−1

and thenA† = G†F †.

Theorem 3 (MacDuffee). If A ∈ Cm×nr , r > 0, has a full-rank factorization

A = FG, (1)

thenA† = G∗(F ∗AG∗)−1F ∗. [= G∗(GG∗)−1(F ∗F )−1F ∗.] (2)
