<p>To my understanding, I didn't know the Sherman-Morrison formula,

please help me on that?</p></div></blockquote><div>SM is a formula for inverting a matrix + a rank-one addition.

<div>I am not sure you can get around this cost. In this case,
it reduces to the well-known</div>
<div>Sherman-Morrison formula (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman%E2%80%93Morrison_formula" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman%E2%80%93Morrison_formula</a>),</div>
<div>which Woodbury generalized. It seems to have the same
number of solves.</div>
