Calculating the Singular Values and Pseudo-Inverse of a Matrix

TL;DR: In this article, a numerically stable and fairly fast scheme is described to compute the unitary matrices U and V which transform a given matrix A into a diagonal form π = U^ * AV, thus exhibiting A's singular values on π's diagonal.

On the Relative Importance of the Driving Forces of Plate Motion

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative strength of the plausible driving forces, given the observed motions and geometries of the lithospheric plates, was analyzed. But the results indicate that the forces acting on the downgoing slab control the velocity of the oceanic plates and are an order of magnitude stronger than any other force.

Geophysical inversion with a neighbourhood algorithm—II. Appraising the ensemble

TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte Carlo direct search method is used to estimate the information in the available ensemble to guide a resampling of the parameters of the model space, which can be used to obtain measures of resolution and trade-off in the model parameters.

Interpretation of Inaccurate, Insufficient and Inconsistent Data

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem is formulated as an ill-posed matrix equation, and general criteria are established for constructing an inverse matrix, defined in terms of a set of generalized eigenvectors of the matrix, and may be chosen to optimize the resolution provided by the data.

A review of least-squares inversion and its application to geophysical problems*

TL;DR: In this article, a common type of inversion applies iterative damped linear least squares through use of the Marquardt-Levenberg method, which has been implemented by solving the associated normal equations in conventional ways.
