Abstract
We discuss an approximation (with respect to Hilbert-Schmidt norm) of a singular matrix by a non singular matrix with a given determinant. W e prove the existence and unicity of this matrix. We use this result t o define the D-inverse of a matrix by requiring the determinant to be the product of the nonzero singular values of the given matrix. We dis cuss the interest of this approach for improving the conditioning of a given matrix.
