 | | is, in a sense, a matrix “halfway between” a nonsingular matrix A and its inverse. |
 | | As a special case, for a one-by-one matrix A = (a) regarded as isomorphic to a scalar, for a > 0 we may observe that since matrix inversion corresponds in this case to reciprocation, the result of applying the operator Φ may be called the (principal) “semi-reciprocal” of the number a. |
 | | Also, since the semi-inverse of any matrix in U can be polynomially generated, and since it is well known that when λ is an eigenvalue of a matrix A and p(x) is any polynomial it follows that p(λ) is an eigenvalue of p(A), we have: |
