We study a matrix that arises in a singular formulation of the Woodbury matrix identity when the Woodbury identity no longer holds. We present generalized inverse and pseudo-determinant identities for such matrix that have direct applications to the Gaussian process regression, in particular, its likelihood representation and its precision matrix. We also provide an eﬃcient algorithm and numerical analysis for the presented determinant identities and demonstrate their advantages in certain…

A method for computing the Moore–Penrose inverse of a complex matrix using polynomials in matrices is proposed, valid for all matrices and does not involve spectral calculation, which could be infeasible when the size of the matrix is large.
