Abstract
In this paper we identify a significant deficiency in the literature on the application of the Relative Gain Array (RGA) formalism in the case of singular matrices. Specifically, we show that the conventional use of the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse is inappropriate because it fails to preserve critical properties that can be assumed in the nonsingular case. We then discuss how such properties can be rigorously preserved using an alternative generalized matrix inverse.
