%0 Journal Article %T A proximal approach to the inversion of ill-conditioned matrices %A Pierre Mar¨¦chal %A Aude Rondepierre %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X We propose a general proximal algorithm for the inversion of ill-conditioned matrices. This algorithm is based on a variational characterization of pseudo-inverses. We show that a particular instance of it (with constant regularization parameter) belongs to the class of {\sl fixed point} methods. Convergence of the algorithm is also discussed. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.0703v1
