The Moore-Penrose Pseudoinverse. A Tutorial Review of the Theory
In the last decades the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse has found a wide range of
applications in many areas of Science and became a useful tool for physicists
dealing, for instance, with optimization problems, with data analysis, with the
solution of linear integral equations, etc. The existence of such applications
alone should attract the interest of students and researchers in the
Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse and in related sub jects, like the singular values
decomposition theorem for matrices. In this note we present a tutorial review
of the theory of the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse. We present the first
definitions and some motivations and, after obtaining some basic results, we
center our discussion on the Spectral Theorem and present an algorithmically
simple expression for the computation of the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse of a
given matrix. We do not claim originality of the results. We rather intend to
present a complete and self-contained tutorial review, useful for those more
devoted to applications, for those more theoretically oriented and for those
who already have some working knowledge of the sub ject.Comment: 23 page
Invariance of the essential spectra of operator pencils
The essential spectrum of operator pencils with bounded coefficients in a Hilbert space is studied. Sufficient conditions in terms of the operator coefficients of two pencils are derived which guarantee the same essential spectrum. This is done by exploiting a strong relation between an operator pencil and a specific linear subspace (linear relation)

Kernel reconstruction for delayed neural field equations
Understanding the neural field activity for realistic living systems is a challenging task in contemporary neuroscience. Neural fields have been studied and developed theoretically and numerically with considerable success over the past four decades. However, to make effective use of such models, we need to identify their constituents in practical systems. This includes the determination of model parameters and in particular the reconstruction of the underlying effective connectivity in biological tissues. In this work, we provide an integral equation approach to the reconstruction of the neural connectivity in the case where the neural activity is governed by a delay neural field equation. As preparation, we study the solution of the direct problem based on the Banach fixed point theorem. Then we reformulate the inverse problem into a family of integral equations of the first kind. This equation will be vector valued when several neural activity trajectories are taken as input for the inverse problem. We employ spectral regularization techniques for its stable solution. A sensitivity analysis of the regularized kernel reconstruction with respect to the input signal u is carried out, investigating the Frechet differentiability of the kernel with respect to the signal. Finally, we use numerical examples to show the feasibility of the approach for kernel reconstruction, including numerical sensitivity tests, which show that the integral equation approach is a very stable and promising approach for practical computational neuroscience
