Abstract

We prove that \({\rm{cond}}_{\dagger}(T)-1\leq {\rm{cond}}^{[2]}_{\dagger}(T)\leq{\rm{cond}}_{\dagger}(T)+1\), where T is a linear operator in a Hilbert space, \({\rm{cond}}_{\dagger}(T)\) is the condition number of computing its Moore–Penrose inverse, and \({\rm{cond}}^{[2]}_{\dagger}(T)\) is the level-2 condition number of this problem.
