What can be said about $AA^+$ for symmetric real matrices?

74 Views Asked by At

Defining $A^+$ as the pseudoinverse of matrix $A$, what can be said about $AA^+$ if $A$ is a real matrix? What if $A$ is also symmetric?

The reason I am asking this is that I want to see why the following dual problem definition is true.$^\color{magenta}{\star}$
