nag_complex_svd (f02xec) returns all, or part, of the singular value decomposition of a general complex matrix.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf02.h>
void  nag_complex_svd (Integer m, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer tda, Integer ncolb, Complex b[], Integer tdb, Nag_Boolean wantq, Complex q[], Integer tdq, double sv[], Nag_Boolean wantp, Complex ph[], Integer tdph, Integer *iter, double e[], Integer *failinfo, NagError *fail)

3  Description

The m  by n  matrix A  is factorized as
A = QDP H  
where
D = S 0 m > n D = S , m = n D = S 0 m < n  
Q  is an m  by m  unitary matrix, P  is an n  by n  unitary matrix and S  is a minm,n  by minm,n  diagonal matrix with real non-negative diagonal elements, sv 1 , sv 2 , , sv min m,n , ordered such that
sv 1 sv 2 sv min m,n 0 .  
The first minm,n  columns of Q  are the left-hand singular vectors of A , the diagonal elements of S  are the singular values of A  and the first minm,n  columns of P  are the right-hand singular vectors of A .
Either or both of the left-hand and right-hand singular vectors of A  may be requested and the matrix C  given by
C = Q H B  
where B  is an m  by ncolb  given matrix, may also be requested.
The function obtains the singular value decomposition by first reducing A  to upper triangular form by means of Householder transformations, from the left when mn  and from the right when m < n .  The upper triangular form is then reduced to bidiagonal form by Givens plane rotations and finally the QR  algorithm is used to obtain the singular value decomposition of the bidiagonal form.
Good background descriptions to the singular value decomposition are given in Dongarra et al. (1979), Hammarling (1985) and Wilkinson (1978). Note that this function is not based on the LINPACK routine CSVDC.
Note that if K  is any unitary diagonal matrix such that
KK H = I  
then
A = Q K D P K H  
is also a singular value decomposition of A .

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_2_INT_ARG_LT
On entry, tda=value  while n=value . These arguments must satisfy tdan .
On entry, tdb=value  while ncolb=value . These arguments must satisfy tdbncolb .
NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
NE_INT_ARG_LT
On entry, m=value.
Constraint: m0.
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
On entry, ncolb=value.
Constraint: ncolb0.
NE_QR_NOT_CONV
The QR algorithm has failed to converge in value iterations. Singular values 1 , 2 , , failinfo  may not have been found correctly and the remaining singular values may not be the smallest. The matrix A  will nevertheless have been factorized as A = QEPT , where the leading minm,n  by minm,n  part of E  is a bidiagonal matrix with sv[0] , sv[1] , , sv[ minm,n-1 ]  as the diagonal elements and e[0] , e[1] , , e[ minm'n-2 ]  as the super-diagonal elements. This failure is not likely to occur.
NE_TDP_LT_N
On entry, tdph=value  while n=value . When wantq and wantp are Nag_TRUE and mn  then relationship tdphn  must be satisfied.
NE_TDQ_LT_M
On entry, tdq=value  while m=value . When wantq is Nag_TRUE and m<n  then relationship tdqm  must be satisfied.

7  Accuracy

The computed factors Q , D  and P  satisfy the relation
QDP H = A + E  
where E c ε A , ε  being the machine precision, c  is a modest function of m  and n  and .  denotes the spectral (two) norm. Note that A = sv 1 .

8  Parallelism and Performance

Not applicable.

9  Further Comments

None.
