<p>I have a matrix Z n times p with p>n</p> <p>I have A a diagonal matrix with positive entries</p> <p>I would like to know if there is a knwon relation (as a function of A) between</p> <p>the MP inverse of Z^T Z</p> <p>and the MP inverse of A Z^T Z A</p> <p>what i am looking for is the follwing: suppose I knwo the MP of $Z^T Z$ and I know $A$, can I get as a function of those two things the MP inverse of $A Z^T Z A$?</p>

<p>If by 'knwon relation' you mean whether you can convert between these matrices unambiguously then the answer is yes. The Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse always exists and is unique, and A is nonsingular. That is all you need.</p>

<p>"what i am looking for is what is suppose I know the MP of Z^T Z, how can i get the MP of A Z^T Z A using A and the MP of Z^T Z? thanks"</p> <p>$(A Z^T Z A)^\dagger = (A ((Z^TZ)^\dagger)^\dagger A)^\dagger$</p>
