void	nag_dgesdd (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_JobType job, Integer m, Integer n, double a[], Integer pda, double s[], double u[], Integer pdu, double vt[], Integer pdvt, NagError *fail)

3 Description

The SVD is written as

A = U Σ V^{T},

where

Σ

is an

m

n

matrix which is zero except for its

\min (m, n)

diagonal elements,

U

is an

m

m

orthogonal matrix, and

V

is an

n

n

orthogonal matrix. The diagonal elements of

Σ

are the singular values of

A

; they are real and non-negative, and are returned in descending order. The first

\min (m, n)

columns of

U

and

V

are the left and right singular vectors of

A

Note that the function returns

V^{T}

, not

V

7 Accuracy

The computed singular value decomposition is nearly the exact singular value decomposition for a nearby matrix

(A + E)

, where

{‖E‖}_{2} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{2},

and

ε

is the machine precision. In addition, the computed singular vectors are nearly orthogonal to working precision. See Section 4.9 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_dgesdd (f08kdc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_dgesdd (f08kdc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately proportional to

m n^{2}

when

m > n

and

m^{2} n

otherwise.

The singular values are returned in descending order.

The complex analogue of this function is nag_zgesvd (f08kpc).

10 Example

This example finds the singular values and left and right singular vectors of the

4

6

matrix

A = (\begin{array}{r} 2.27 & 0.28 & - 0.48 & 1.07 & - 2.35 & 0.62 \\ - 1.54 & - 1.67 & - 3.09 & 1.22 & 2.93 & - 7.39 \\ 1.15 & 0.94 & 0.99 & 0.79 & - 1.45 & 1.03 \\ - 1.94 & - 0.78 & - 0.21 & 0.63 & 2.30 & - 2.57 \end{array}),

together with approximate error bounds for the computed singular values and vectors.
