3 Description

The SVD is written as

A = U Σ V^{T},

where

Σ

is an

m \times n

matrix which is zero except for its

\min (m, n)

diagonal elements,

U

is an

m \times m

orthogonal matrix, and

V

is an

n \times 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 routine returns

V^{T}

, not

V

jobu \neq'O'

and

, the contents of a are destroyed.

6: $lda$ – Integer Input

Constraint:

lda \geq \max (1, m)

On exit: if

work (1)

returns the optimal lwork.

work (2 : \min (m, n))

contains the unconverged superdiagonal elements of an upper bidiagonal matrix

B

whose diagonal is in s (not necessarily sorted).

B

satisfies

A = U B V^{T}

, so it has the same singular values as

A

, and singular vectors related by

U

and

V^{T}

13: $lwork$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08kbf is called.

lwork = −1

, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the work array, returns this value as the first entry of the work array, and no error message related to lwork is issued.

Suggested value: for optimal performance, lwork should generally be larger. Consider increasing lwork by at least

nb \times \min (m, n)

, where

nb

is the optimal block size.

Constraint:

lwork \geq \max (1, 3 \times \min (m, n) + \max (m, n), 5 \times \min (m, n))

14: $info$ – Integer Output

On exit:

info = 0

unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$info < 0$: If $info = - i$ , argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

$info > 0$: If f08kbf did not converge, info specifies how many superdiagonals of an intermediate bidiagonal form did not converge to zero.

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

f08kbf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08kbf 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 X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also 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 routine is f08kpf.

10 Example

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

6 \times 4

matrix

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

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

The example program for f08kdf illustrates finding a singular value decomposition for the case

m \leq n
