Inverse matrix Definition and 39 Threads

I am reading about musical isomorphisms and for the demonstration of the index raising operation from the sharp isomorphism, we have to multiply the equation by the inverse matrix of the metric. Can we assume that this inverse always exists? If so, how could I prove it?

I have an exercise which says to show that for vectors, $ A \cdot A^{-1} = A^{-1} \cdot A = I $ does NOT define $ A^{-1}$ uniquely. But, let's assume there are at least 2 of $ A^{-1} = B, C$ Then $ A \cdot B = I = A \cdot C , \therefore BAB = BAC, \therefore B=C$, therefore $ A^{-1}$ is...

I'm hoping that you can help me settle an argument. For a matrix \textbf{M} with elements m_{ij}, is there any sitaution where the notation (M_{ij})^{-1} could be correctly interpreted as a matrix with elements 1/m_{ij}? Personally I interpret (M_{ij})^{-1} in the usual sense of an inverse...

I'm looking for solutions to this problem: Matrices A(m,n) and B(n,m) satisfy AB=I(m,m) where n isn't equal to m. Can I find a matrix S(m,n) such that SA=I(n,n) or SA approximates I(n,n)? By approximate I don't have preferred definition, hence any suggestion is welcome!
