Abstract

A function analytic approach to the generalized inversion problem, for arbitrary operators between Hilbert spaces, is investigated in the present paper.

The generalized inverse is defined as the inverse of the largest invertible restriction of the given operator and it is extended by zero to the orthogonal complement of the range of the invertible restriction. This domain-dense operator satisfies, on some restricted manifolds, the defining properties of the generalized inverse in some special cases, and it provides the least extremal solution of possibly inconsistent linear equations.
