Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    Any n×n square matrix for which there exists a corresponding inverse matrix (i.e., a second (or possibly the same) matrix such that when the two are multiplied by each other, in either order, the result is the n×n identity matrix).

    "1975 [Prentice-Hall], Kenneth Hoffman, Analysis in Euclidean Space, Dover, 2007, page 65, It says that, if A is a singular matrix, then every neighborhood of A contains an invertible matrix. In other words, if A is singular, we can perturb A just a little and obtain an invertible matrix."
