On continuity of the Moore-Penrose and Drazin generalized inverses

Abstract Let A be an m × n matrix. It is shown that if a matrix  comes close to satisfying the definition of the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse of A , A † , then ┆  – A † ┆ is small. Norm estimates are given which make precise what is close. The Drazin generalized inverse is also considered.
