, and optionally computes the left and/or right singular vectors. f08khc implements the preconditioned Jacobi SVD of Drmač and Veselić (2008a) and Drmač and Veselić (2008b). This is the expert driver function that calls f08kjc after certain preconditioning. In most cases f08kbc or f08kdc, employing fast scaled rotations and de Rijk's pivoting strategy, is sufficient to obtain the SVD of a real matrix. These are much simpler to use and also handle the case

m < n

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderType Input

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by

order = Nag_RowMajor

. See Section 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $joba$ – Nag_Preprocess Input

On entry: specifies the form of pivoting for the

Q R

factorization stage; whether an estimate of the condition number of the scaled matrix is required; and the form of rank reduction that is performed.

$joba = Nag_ColpivRrank$: The initial $Q R$ factorization of the input matrix is performed with column pivoting; no estimate of condition number is computed; and, the rank is reduced by only the underflowed part of the triangular factor $R$ . This option works well (high relative accuracy) if $A$ can be written in the form $A = B D$ , with well-conditioned $B$ and arbitrary diagonal matrix $D$ . The accuracy cannot be spoiled by column scaling. The accuracy of the computed output depends on the condition of $B$ , and the procedure attempts to achieve the best theoretical accuracy.
$joba = Nag_ColpivRrankCond$: Computation as with $joba = Nag_ColpivRrank$ with an additional estimate of the condition number of $B$ . It provides a realistic error bound.
$joba = Nag_FullpivRrank$: The initial $Q R$ factorization of the input matrix is performed with full row and column pivoting; no estimate of condition number is computed; and, the rank is reduced by only the underflowed part of the triangular factor $R$ . If $A = D_{1} \times C \times D_{2}$ with ill-conditioned diagonal scalings $D_{1}$ , $D_{2}$ , and well-conditioned matrix $C$ , this option gives higher accuracy than the $joba = Nag_ColpivRrank$ option. If the structure of the input matrix is not known, and relative accuracy is desirable, then this option is advisable.
$joba = Nag_FullpivRrankCond$: Computation as with $joba = Nag_FullpivRrank$ with an additional estimate of the condition number of $B$ , where $A = D B$ (i.e., $B = C \times D_{2}$ ). If $A$ has heavily weighted rows, then using this condition number gives too pessimistic an error bound.
$joba = Nag_ColpivSVrankAbs$: Computation as with $joba = Nag_ColpivRrank$ except in the treatment of rank reduction. In this case, small singular values are to be considered as noise and, if found, the matrix is treated as numerically rank deficient. The computed SVD, $A = U Σ V^{T}$ , is such that the relative residual norm (when comparing against $A$ ) is of the order $O (m) \times ε$ , where $ε$ is machine precision. This gives the procedure licence to discard (set to zero) all singular values below $n \times ε \times ‖A‖$ .
$joba = Nag_ColpivSVrankRel$: Similar to $joba = Nag_ColpivSVrankAbs$ . The rank revealing property of the initial $Q R$ factorization is used to reveal (using the upper triangular factor) a gap, $σ_{r + 1} < ε σ_{r}$ , in which case the numerical rank is declared to be $r$ . The SVD is computed with absolute error bounds, but more accurately than with $joba = Nag_ColpivSVrankAbs$ .

Constraint:

joba = Nag_ColpivRrank

Nag_ColpivRrankCond

Nag_FullpivRrank

Nag_FullpivRrankCond

Nag_ColpivSVrankAbs

Nag_ColpivSVrankRel

3: $jobu$ – Nag_LeftVecsType Input

On entry: specifies options for computing the left singular vectors

U

$jobu = Nag_LeftSpan$: The first $n$ left singular vectors (columns of $U$ ) are computed and returned in the array u.
$jobu = Nag_LeftVecs$: All $m$ left singular vectors are computed and returned in the array u.
$jobu = Nag_NotLeftWork$: No left singular vectors are computed, but the array u (with $pdu \geq m$ and second dimension at least n) is available as workspace for computing right singular values. See the description of u.
$jobu = Nag_NotLeftVecs$: No left singular vectors are computed. $u$ is not referenced when $jobv = Nag_NotRightWork$ or $Nag_NotRightVecs$ .

Constraint:

jobu = Nag_LeftSpan

Nag_LeftVecs

Nag_NotLeftWork

Nag_NotLeftVecs

4: $jobv$ – Nag_RightVecsType Input

On entry: specifies options for computing the right singular vectors

V

$jobv = Nag_RightVecs$: The $n$ right singular vectors (columns of $V$ ) are computed and returned in the array v; Jacobi rotations are not explicitly accumulated.
$jobv = Nag_RightVecsJRots$: The $n$ right singular vectors (columns of $V$ ) are computed and returned in the array v, but they are computed as the product of Jacobi rotations. This option is allowed only if $jobu = Nag_LeftSpan$ or $Nag_LeftVecs$ , i.e., in computing the full SVD.
This is equivalent to multiplying the input matrix, on the right, by the matrix $V$ .
$jobv = Nag_NotRightWork$: No right singular values are computed, but the array v (with $pdv \geq n$ and second dimension at least n) is available as workspace for computing left singular values. See the description of v.
$jobv = Nag_NotRightVecs$: No right singular vectors are computed. $v$ is not referenced when $jobu = Nag_NotLeftWork$ or $Nag_NotLeftVecs$ or $jobt = Nag_NoTrans$ or $m \neq n$ .

Constraints:

$jobv = Nag_RightVecs$ , $Nag_RightVecsJRots$ , $Nag_NotRightWork$ or $Nag_NotRightVecs$ ;
if $jobu = Nag_NotLeftWork$ or $Nag_NotLeftVecs$ , $jobv \neq Nag_RightVecsJRots$ .

5: $jobr$ – Nag_ZeroCols Input

On entry: specifies the conditions under which columns of

A

are to be set to zero. This effectively specifies a lower limit on the range of singular values; any singular values below this limit are (through column zeroing) set to zero. If

A \neq 0

is scaled so that the largest column (in the Euclidean norm) of

c A

is equal to the square root of the overflow threshold, then jobr allows the function to kill columns of

A

whose norm in

c A

is less than

\sqrt{sfmin}

(for

jobr = Nag_ZeroColsRestrict

), or less than

sfmin / ε

(otherwise).

sfmin

is the safe range parameter, as returned by function X02AMC.

$jobr = Nag_ZeroColsNormal$: Only set to zero those columns of $A$ for which the norm of corresponding column of $c A < sfmin / ε$ , that is, those columns that are effectively zero (to machine precision) anyway. If the condition number of $A$ is greater than the overflow threshold $λ$ , where $λ$ is the value returned by X02ALC, you are recommended to use function f08kjc.
$jobr = Nag_ZeroColsRestrict$: Set to zero those columns of $A$ for which the norm of the corresponding column of $c A < \sqrt{sfmin}$ . This approximately represents a restricted range for $σ (c A)$ of $[\sqrt{sfmin}, \sqrt{λ}]$ .

For computing the singular values in the full range from the safe minimum up to the overflow threshold use f08kjc.

Suggested value:

jobr = Nag_ZeroColsRestrict

Constraint:

jobr = Nag_ZeroColsNormal

Nag_ZeroColsRestrict

6: $jobt$ – Nag_TransType Input

On entry: specifies, in the case

n = m

, whether the function is permitted to use the transpose of

A

for improved efficiency. If the matrix is square, then the procedure may use

A^{T}

if it seems to be better with respect to convergence. If the matrix is not square, jobt is ignored. The decision is based on two values of entropy over the adjoint orbit of

A^{T} A

. See the descriptions of

work [5]

and

work [6]

$jobt = Nag_Trans$: If $n = m$ , perform an entropy test and, if the test indicates possibly faster convergence of the Jacobi process when using $A^{T}$ , then form the transpose $A^{T}$ . If $A$ is replaced with $A^{T}$ , then the row pivoting is included automatically.
$jobt = Nag_NoTrans$: No entropy test and no transposition is performed.

The option

jobt = Nag_Trans

can be used to compute only the singular values, or the full SVD (

U

Σ

and

V

). In the case where only one set of singular vectors (

U

V

) is required, the caller must still provide both u and v, as one of the matrices is used as workspace if the matrix

A

is transposed. See the descriptions of u and v.

Constraint:

jobt = Nag_Trans

Nag_NoTrans

7: $jobp$ – Nag_Perturb Input

On entry: specifies whether the function should be allowed to introduce structured perturbations to drown denormalized numbers. For details see Drmač and Veselić (2008a) and Drmač and Veselić (2008b). For the sake of simplicity, these perturbations are included only when the full SVD or only the singular values are requested.

$jobp = Nag_PerturbOn$: Introduce perturbation if $A$ is found to be very badly scaled (introducing denormalized numbers).
$jobp = Nag_PerturbOff$: Do not perturb.

Constraint:

jobp = Nag_PerturbOn

Nag_PerturbOff

8: $m$ – Integer Input

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

Constraint:

m \geq 0

9: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

Constraint:

10: $a [\dim]$ – double Input/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least

$\max (1, pda \times n)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, m \times pda)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

A

The singular values of

A

are

σ_{i} = α \times sva [i - 1]

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, n

, where

α = work [0] / work [1]

. Normally

α = 1

and no scaling is required to obtain the singular values. However, if the largest singular value of

A

overflows or if small singular values have been saved from underflow by scaling the input matrix

A

, then

α \neq 1

jobr = Nag_ZeroColsRestrict

, then some of the singular values may be returned as exact zeros because they are below the numerical rank threshold or are denormalized numbers.

$\max (1, pdu \times m)$ when $jobu = Nag_LeftVecs$ ;

$\max (1, m)$ otherwise.

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

U

and one of the following is satisfied:

14: $pdu$ – Integer Input

Constraints:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ,
- if $jobu = Nag_LeftVecs$ , $pdu \geq \max (1, m)$ ;
- if $jobu = Nag_LeftSpan$ or $Nag_NotLeftWork$ , $pdu \geq \max (1, m)$ ;

$\max (1, pdv \times n)$ when $jobv = Nag_RightVecs$ , $Nag_RightVecsJRots$ or $Nag_NotRightWork$ ;
$1$ otherwise.

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

V

is stored in

$v [(j - 1) \times pdv + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$v [(i - 1) \times pdv + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On exit: if

jobv = Nag_RightVecs

Nag_RightVecsJRots

, v contains the

n

n

matrix of right singular vectors.

v is not referenced when

jobv = Nag_NotRightWork

Nag_NotRightVecs

and one of the following is satisfied:

$jobu = Nag_LeftSpan$ or $Nag_LeftVecs$ and $jobt = Nag_Trans$ , or
$n = 1$ , or
$A$ is the zero matrix.

16: $pdv$ – Integer Input

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array v.

Constraints:

if $jobv = Nag_RightVecs$ , $Nag_RightVecsJRots$ or $Nag_NotRightWork$ , $pdv \geq \max (1, n)$ ;
otherwise $pdv \geq 1$ .

17: $work [7]$ – double Output

On exit: contains information about the completed job.

$work [0]$: $α = work [0] / work [1]$ is the scaling factor such that $σ_{i} = α \times sva [i - 1]$ , for $i = 1, 2, \dots, n$ are the computed singular values of $A$ . (See the description of $sva$ .)
$work [1]$: See the description of $work [0]$ .
$work [2]$: sconda, an estimate for the condition number of column equilibrated $A$ (if $joba = Nag_ColpivRrankCond$ or $Nag_FullpivRrankCond$ ). sconda is an estimate of $\sqrt{({‖{(R^{T} R)}^{- 1}‖}_{1})}$ . It is computed using f07fgc. It satisfies $n^{- \frac{1}{4}} \times sconda \leq {‖R^{- 1}‖}_{2} \leq n^{\frac{1}{4}} \times sconda$ where $R$ is the triangular factor from the $Q R$ factorization of $A$ . However, if $R$ is truncated and the numerical rank is determined to be strictly smaller than $n$ , sconda is returned as $- 1$ , thus indicating that the smallest singular values might be lost.

If full SVD is needed, and you are familiar with the details of the method, the following two condition numbers are useful for the analysis of the algorithm.

$work [3]$: An estimate of the scaled condition number of the triangular factor in the first $Q R$ factorization.
$work [4]$: An estimate of the scaled condition number of the triangular factor in the second $Q R$ factorization.

The following two parameters are computed if

jobt = Nag_Trans

$work [5]$: The entropy of $A^{T} A$ : this is the Shannon entropy of $diag A^{T} A / trace A^{T} A$ taken as a point in the probability simplex.
$work [6]$: The entropy of $A A^{T}$ .

18: $iwork [3]$ – Integer Output

On exit: contains information about the completed job.

$iwork [0]$: The numerical rank of $A$ determined after the initial $Q R$ factorization with pivoting. See the descriptions of joba and jobr.
$iwork [1]$: The number of computed nonzero singular values.
$iwork [2]$: If nonzero, a warning message. If $iwork [2] = 1$ , then some of the column norms of $A$ were denormalized (tiny) numbers. The requested high accuracy is not warranted by the data.

19: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

7 Accuracy

The computed SVD is nearly the exact SVD 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

f08khc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08khc 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 function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

f08khc implements a preconditioned Jacobi SVD algorithm. It uses f08aec, f08ahc and f08bfc as preprocessors and preconditioners. Optionally, an additional row pivoting can be used as a preprocessor, which in some cases results in much higher accuracy. An example is a matrix

A

with the structure

A = D_{1} C D_{2}

, where

D_{1}

D_{2}

are arbitrarily ill-conditioned diagonal matrices and

C

is a well-conditioned matrix. In that case, complete pivoting in the first

Q R

factorizations provides accuracy dependent on the condition number of

C

, and independent of

D_{1}

D_{2}

. Such higher accuracy is not completely understood theoretically, but it works well in practice. Further, if

A

can be written as

A = B D

, with well-conditioned

B

and some diagonal

D

, then the high accuracy is guaranteed, both theoretically and in software, independent of

D
