3 Description

The

n

n

upper triangular matrix

R

is factorized as

R = Q S P^{T},

where

Q

and

P

are

n

n

orthogonal matrices and

S

is an

n

n

diagonal matrix with non-negative diagonal elements,

σ_{1}, σ_{2}, \dots, σ_{n}

, ordered such that

σ_{1} \geq σ_{2} \geq \dots \geq σ_{n} \geq 0 .

The columns of

Q

are the left-hand singular vectors of

R

, the diagonal elements of

S

are the singular values of

R

and the columns of

P

are the right-hand singular vectors of

R

Either or both of

Q

and

P^{T}

may be requested and the matrix

C

given by

C = Q^{T} B,

where

B

is an

n

ncolb

given matrix, may also be requested.

The routine obtains the singular value decomposition by first reducing

R

to bidiagonal form by means of Givens plane rotations and then using the

Q R

algorithm to obtain the singular value decomposition of the bidiagonal form.

Good background descriptions to the singular value decomposition are given in Chan (1982), Dongarra et al. (1979), Golub and Van Loan (1996), Hammarling (1985) and Wilkinson (1978).

Note that if

K

is any orthogonal diagonal matrix so that

K K^{T} = I

(that is the diagonal elements of

K

are

+ 1

- 1

) then

A = (Q K) S {(P K)}^{T}

is also a singular value decomposition of

A

13: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to

0

- 1

1

to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.

A value of

0

causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of

- 1

means that an error message is printed while a value of

1

means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value

- 1

1

is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value

1

is recommended. Otherwise, the value

0

is recommended. When the value $- 1$ or $1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit:

ifail = 0

unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry

ifail = 0

- 1

, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$ifail = 1$: The $Q R$ algorithm has failed to converge. $〈value〉$ singular values have not been found.

$ifail = - 1$: On entry, $lda = 〈value〉$ and $n = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $lda \geq n$ .

On entry, $ldb = 〈value〉$ , $n = 〈value〉$ and $ncolb = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: if $ncolb > 0$ , $ldb \geq n$ .

On entry, $ldq = 〈value〉$ and $n = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: if $wantq = .TRUE.$ , $ldq \geq n$ .

7 Accuracy

The computed factors

Q

S

and

P

satisfy the relation

Q S P^{T} = R + E,

where

‖E‖ \leq c ε ‖A‖,

ε

is the machine precision,

c

is a modest function of

n

and

‖.‖

denotes the spectral (two) norm. Note that

‖A‖ = sv (1)

A similar result holds for the computed matrix

Q^{T} B

The computed matrix

Q

satisfies the relation

Q = T + F,

where

T

is exactly orthogonal and

‖F‖ \leq d ε,

where

d

is a modest function of

n

. A similar result holds for

P

8 Parallelism and Performance

f02wuf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f02wuf 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

For given values of ncolb, wantq and wantp, the number of floating-point operations required is approximately proportional to

n^{3}

Following the use of this routine the rank of

R

may be estimated by a call to f06klf. The statement

irank = f06klf(n,sv,1,tol)

returns the value

(k - 1)

in irank, where

k

is the smallest integer for which

sv (k) < tol \times sv (1)

, and

tol

is the tolerance supplied in tol, so that irank is an estimate of the rank of

S

and thus also of

R

. If tol is supplied as negative then the machine precision is used in place of tol.
