SVD(Matrix)


  • is the set of values.

Description

  • The singular value decomposition of a matrix A is the factorization of A into the product of three matrices  
  • Where the columns of U and V are orthonormal and the matrix S is diagonal with positive real entries
  • Singular value decomposition is defined for all matrices (rectangular or square).
Suppose A is a m × n matrix whose entries come from the field K, which is either the field of real numbers or the field of complex numbers. 
  • Then there exists a factorization, called a singular value decomposition of A, of the form

where U is an m × m unitary matrix, S is a diagonal m × n matrix with non-negative real numbers on the diagonal, V is an n × n unitary matrix over K, and   is the conjugate transpose of V.
