In mathematics (specifically linear algebra), the Woodbury matrix identity, named after Max A. Woodbury[1][2] says that the inverse of a rank-k correction of some matrix can be computed by doing a rank-k correction to the inverse of the original matrix. Alternative names for this formula are the matrix inversion lemma, Sherman–Morrison–Woodbury formula or just Woodbury formula. However, the identity appeared in several papers before the Woodbury report.[3] The Woodbury matrix identity is[4] where A, U, C and V all denote matrices of the correct (conformable) sizes. Specifically, A is n-by-n, U is n-by-k, C is k-by-k and V is k-by-n. This can be derived using blockwise matrix inversion. For a more general formula for which the matrix C need not be invertible or even square, see Binomial inverse theorem. Special casesWhen C is the 1-by-1 unit matrix, this identity reduces to the Sherman–Morrison formula. In the case when C is the identity matrix I, the matrix is known in numerical linear algebra and numerical partial differential equations as the capacitance matrix.[3] For mere numbers, the identity reduces to the following relation of fractions Push-through identityMultiplying on the right by and simplifying yields the following push-through identity[6] The special case where and (where these two identity matrices have different sizes in general) illustrates the origin of the "push-through" name: Direct proofThe formula can be proven by checking that times its alleged inverse on the right side of the Woodbury identity gives the identity matrix: Algebraic proofFirst consider these useful identities, Now, Derivation via blockwise eliminationDeriving the Woodbury matrix identity is easily done by solving the following block matrix inversion problem Expanding, we can see that the above reduces to which is equivalent to . Eliminating the first equation, we find that , which can be substituted into the second to find . Expanding and rearranging, we have , or . Finally, we substitute into our , and we have . Thus, We have derived the Woodbury matrix identity. Derivation from LDU decompositionWe start by the matrix By eliminating the entry under the A (given that A is invertible) we get Likewise, eliminating the entry above C gives Now combining the above two, we get Moving to the right side gives which is the LDU decomposition of the block matrix into an upper triangular, diagonal, and lower triangular matrices. Now inverting both sides gives We could equally well have done it the other way (provided that C is invertible) i.e. Now again inverting both sides, Now comparing elements (1, 1) of the RHS of (1) and (2) above gives the Woodbury formula ApplicationsThis identity is useful in certain numerical computations where A−1 has already been computed and it is desired to compute (A + UCV)−1. With the inverse of A available, it is only necessary to find the inverse of C−1 + VA−1U in order to obtain the result using the right-hand side of the identity. If C has a much smaller dimension than A, this is more efficient than inverting A + UCV directly. A common case is finding the inverse of a low-rank update A + UCV of A (where U only has a few columns and V only a few rows), or finding an approximation of the inverse of the matrix A + B where the matrix B can be approximated by a low-rank matrix UCV, for example using the singular value decomposition. This is applied, e.g., in the Kalman filter and recursive least squares methods, to replace the parametric solution, requiring inversion of a state vector sized matrix, with a condition equations based solution. In case of the Kalman filter this matrix has the dimensions of the vector of observations, i.e., as small as 1 in case only one new observation is processed at a time. This significantly speeds up the often real time calculations of the filter. Binomial inverse theoremThe binomial inverse theorem is a more general form of the Woodbury matrix identity. If A, U, B, V are matrices of sizes p×p, p×q, q×q, q×p, respectively, then provided A and B + BVA−1UB are nonsingular. Nonsingularity of the latter requires that B−1 exist since it equals {{nowrap|B(I + VA−1UB)}} and the rank of the latter cannot exceed the rank of B.[5] Since B is invertible, the two B terms flanking the parenthetical quantity inverse in the right-hand side can be replaced with {{nowrap|(B−1)−1,}} which results in This is the Woodbury matrix identity, which can also be derived using matrix blockwise inversion. A more general formula exists when B is singular and possibly even non-square:[5] Formulas also exist for certain cases in which A is singular.[6] VerificationFirst notice that Now multiply the matrix we wish to invert by its alleged inverse: which verifies that it is the inverse. So we get that if A−1 and exist, then exists and is given by the theorem above.[7] Special casesFirstIf p = q and U = V = Ip is the identity matrix, then Remembering the identity we can also express the previous equation in the simpler form as Continuing with the merging of the terms of the far right-hand side of the above equation results in Hua's identity Another useful form of the same identity is which has a recursive structure that yields This form can be used in perturbative expansions where B is a perturbation of A. SecondIf B = Iq is the identity matrix and q = 1, then U is a column vector, written u, and V is a row vector, written vT. Then the theorem implies the Sherman-Morrison formula: This is useful if one has a matrix A with a known inverse A−1 and one needs to invert matrices of the form A + uvT quickly for various u and v. ThirdIf we set A = Ip and B = Iq, we get In particular, if q = 1, then which is a particular case of the Sherman-Morrison formula given above. See also
