5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{joba}$ – Character(1) Input

On entry: specifies the structure of matrix $A$.

$\mathbf{joba}=\text{'L'}$

The input matrix $A$ is lower triangular.

$\mathbf{joba}=\text{'U'}$

The input matrix $A$ is upper triangular.

$\mathbf{joba}=\text{'G'}$

The input matrix $A$ is a general $m$ by $n$ matrix, $\mathbf{m}\ge \mathbf{n}$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{joba}=\text{'L'}$, $\text{'U'}$ or $\text{'G'}$.

2: $\mathbf{jobu}$ – Character(1) Input

On entry: specifies whether to compute the left singular vectors and if so whether you want to control their numerical orthogonality threshold.

$\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'U'}$

The left singular vectors corresponding to the nonzero singular values are computed and returned in the leading columns of a. See more details in the description of a. The numerical orthogonality threshold is set to approximately $\mathit{tol}=\mathit{ctol}\times \epsilon$, where $\epsilon$ is the machine precision and $\mathit{ctol}=\sqrt{m}$.

$\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'C'}$

Analogous to $\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'U'}$, except that you can control the level of numerical orthogonality of the computed left singular vectors. The orthogonality threshold is set to $\mathit{tol}=\mathit{ctol}\times \epsilon$, where $\mathit{ctol}$ is given on input in $\mathbf{work}\left(1\right)$. The option $\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'C'}$ can be used if $m\times \epsilon$ is a satisfactory orthogonality of the computed left singular vectors, so $\mathit{ctol}=\mathbf{m}$ could save a few sweeps of Jacobi rotations. See the descriptions of a and $\mathbf{work}\left(1\right)$.

$\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'N'}$

The matrix $U$ is not computed. However, see the description of a.

Constraint: $\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'U'}$, $\text{'C'}$ or $\text{'N'}$.

3: $\mathbf{jobv}$ – Character(1) Input

On entry: specifies whether and how to compute the right singular vectors.

$\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'V'}$

The matrix $V$ is computed and returned in the array v.

$\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'A'}$

The Jacobi rotations are applied to the leading $m_v$ by $n$ part of the array v. In other words, the right singular vector matrix $V$ is not computed explicitly, instead it is applied to an $m_v$ by $n$ matrix initially stored in the first mv rows of v.

$\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'N'}$

The matrix $V$ is not computed and the array v is not referenced.

Constraint: $\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'V'}$, $\text{'A'}$ or $\text{'N'}$.

4: $\mathbf{m}$ – Integer Input

On entry: $m$, the number of rows of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{m}\ge 0$.

5: $\mathbf{n}$ – Integer Input

On entry: $n$, the number of columns of the matrix $A$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{m}\ge \mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

6: $\mathbf{a}\left(\mathbf{lda},*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$.

On entry: the $m$ by $n$ matrix $A$.

On exit: the matrix $U$ containing the left singular vectors of $A$.

If $\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'U'}$ or $\text{'C'}$

if $\mathbf{info}=0$

$\mathrm{rank}\left(A\right)$ orthonormal columns of $U$ are returned in the leading $\mathrm{rank}\left(A\right)$ columns of the array a. Here $\mathrm{rank}\left(A\right)\le \mathbf{n}$ is the number of computed singular values of $A$ that are above the safe range parameter, as returned by x02amf. The singular vectors corresponding to underflowed or zero singular values are not computed. The value of $\mathrm{rank}\left(A\right)$ is returned by rounding $\mathbf{work}\left(2\right)$ to the nearest whole number. Also see the descriptions of sva and work. The computed columns of $U$ are mutually numerically orthogonal up to approximately $\mathit{tol}=\sqrt{m}\times \epsilon$; or $\mathit{tol}=\mathit{ctol}\times \epsilon$ ($\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'C'}$), where $\epsilon$ is the machine precision and $\mathit{ctol}$ is supplied on entry in $\mathbf{work}\left(1\right)$, see the description of jobu.

if $\mathbf{info}>0$

f08kjf did not converge in $30$ iterations (sweeps). In this case, the computed columns of $U$ may not be orthogonal up to $\mathit{tol}$. The output $U$ (stored in a), $\Sigma$ (given by the computed singular values in sva) and $V$ is still a decomposition of the input matrix $A$ in the sense that the residual ${‖A-\alpha \times U\times \Sigma \times V^{\mathrm{T}}‖}_2/{‖A‖}_2$ is small, where $\alpha$ is the value returned in $\mathbf{work}\left(1\right)$.

If $\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'N'}$

if $\mathbf{info}=0$

Note that the left singular vectors are ‘for free’ in the one-sided Jacobi SVD algorithm. However, if only the singular values are needed, the level of numerical orthogonality of $U$ is not an issue and iterations are stopped when the columns of the iterated matrix are numerically orthogonal up to approximately $m\times \epsilon$. Thus, on exit, a contains the columns of $U$ scaled with the corresponding singular values.

if $\mathbf{info}>0$

f08kjf did not converge in $30$ iterations (sweeps).

7: $\mathbf{lda}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f08kjf is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lda}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{m}\right)$.

8: $\mathbf{sva}\left(\mathbf{n}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the, possibly scaled, singular values of $A$.

If $\mathbf{info}=0$

The singular values of $A$ are ${\sigma }_{\mathit{i}}=\alpha \mathbf{sva}\left(\mathit{i}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$, where $\alpha$ is the scale factor stored in $\mathbf{work}\left(1\right)$. Normally $\alpha =1$, however, if some of the singular values of $A$ might underflow or overflow, then $\alpha \ne 1$ and the scale factor needs to be applied to obtain the singular values.

If $\mathbf{info}>0$

f08kjf did not converge in $30$ iterations and $\alpha \times \mathbf{sva}$ may not be accurate.

9: $\mathbf{mv}$ – Integer Input

On entry: if $\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'A'}$, the product of Jacobi rotations is applied to the first $m_v$ rows of v.

If $\mathbf{jobv}\ne \text{'A'}$, mv is ignored. See the description of jobv.

Constraint: $\mathbf{mv}\ge 0$.

10: $\mathbf{v}\left(\mathbf{ldv},*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

Note: the second dimension of the array v must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$ if $\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'V'}$ or $\text{'A'}$, and at least $1$ otherwise.

On entry: if $\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'A'}$, v must contain an $m_v$ by $n$ matrix to be premultiplied by the matrix $V$ of right singular vectors.

On exit: the right singular vectors of $A$.

If $\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'V'}$, v contains the $n$ by $n$ matrix of the right singular vectors.

If $\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'A'}$, v contains the product of the computed right singular vector matrix and the initial matrix in the array v.

If $\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'N'}$, v is not referenced.

11: $\mathbf{ldv}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array v as declared in the (sub)program from which f08kjf is called.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'V'}$, $\mathbf{ldv}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{n}\right)$;
• if $\mathbf{jobv}=\text{'A'}$, $\mathbf{ldv}\ge \max \left(1,\mathbf{mv}\right)$;
• otherwise $\mathbf{ldv}\ge 1$.

12: $\mathbf{work}\left(\mathbf{lwork}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace

On entry: if $\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'C'}$, $\mathbf{work}\left(1\right)=\mathit{ctol}$, where $\mathit{ctol}$ defines the threshold for convergence. The process stops if all columns of $A$ are mutually orthogonal up to $\mathit{ctol}\times \epsilon$. It is required that $\mathit{ctol}\ge 1$, i.e., it is not possible to force the routine to obtain orthogonality below $\epsilon$. $\mathit{ctol}$ greater than $1/\epsilon$ is meaningless, where $\epsilon$ is the machine precision.

On exit: contains information about the completed job.

$\mathbf{work}\left(1\right)$

the scaling factor, $\alpha$, such that ${\sigma }_{\mathit{i}}=\alpha \mathbf{sva}\left(\mathit{i}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$ are the computed singular values of $A$. (See description of sva.)

$\mathbf{work}\left(2\right)$

$\mathrm{nint}\left(\mathbf{work}\left(2\right)\right)$gives the number of the computed nonzero singular values.

$\mathbf{work}\left(3\right)$

$\mathrm{nint}\left(\mathbf{work}\left(3\right)\right)$ gives the number of the computed singular values that are larger than the underflow threshold.

$\mathbf{work}\left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{nint}\left(\mathbf{work}\left(4\right)\right)$ gives the number of iterations (sweeps of Jacobi rotations) needed for numerical convergence.

$\mathbf{work}\left(5\right)$

${\max }_{i\ne j}\left|\cos \left(A\left(:,i\right),A\left(:,j\right)\right)\right|$ in the last iteration (sweep). This is useful information in cases when f08kjf did not converge, as it can be used to estimate whether the output is still useful and for subsequent analysis.

$\mathbf{work}\left(6\right)$

The largest absolute value over all sines of the Jacobi rotation angles in the last sweep. It can be useful for subsequent analysis.

Constraint: if $\mathbf{jobu}=\text{'C'}$, $\mathbf{work}\left(1\right)\ge 1.0$.

13: $\mathbf{lwork}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08kjf is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lwork}\ge \max \left(6,\mathbf{m}+\mathbf{n}\right)$.

14: $\mathbf{info}$ – Integer Output

On exit: $\mathbf{info}=0$ unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$\mathbf{info}<0$

If $\mathbf{info}=-i$, argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

$\mathbf{info}>0$

f08kjf did not converge in the allowed number of iterations ($30$), but its output might still be useful.
