2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f08msc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer ncvt, Integer nru, Integer ncc, double d[], double e[], Complex vt[], Integer pdvt, Complex u[], Integer pdu, Complex c[], Integer pdc, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f08msc, nag_lapackeig_zbdsqr or nag_zbdsqr.

3 Description

f08msc computes the singular values and, optionally, the left or right singular vectors of a real upper or lower bidiagonal matrix B. In other words, it can compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of B as
B = U Σ VT .  
Here Σ is a diagonal matrix with real diagonal elements σi (the singular values of B), such that
σ1 σ2 σn 0 ;  
U is an orthogonal matrix whose columns are the left singular vectors ui; V is an orthogonal matrix whose rows are the right singular vectors vi. Thus
Bui = σi vi   and   BT vi = σi ui ,   i = 1,2,,n .  
To compute U and/or VT, the arrays u and/or vt must be initialized to the unit matrix before f08msc is called.
The function stores the real orthogonal matrices U and VT in complex arrays u and vt, so that it may also be used to compute the SVD of a complex general matrix A which has been reduced to bidiagonal form by a unitary transformation: A=QBPH. If A is m×n with mn, then Q is m×n and PH is n×n; if A is n×p with n<p, then Q is n×n and PH is n×p. In this case, the matrices Q and/or PH must be formed explicitly by f08ktc and passed to f08msc in the arrays u and/or vt respectively.
f08msc also has the capability of forming UHC, where C is an arbitrary complex matrix; this is needed when using the SVD to solve linear least squares problems.
f08msc uses two different algorithms. If any singular vectors are required (i.e., if ncvt>0 or nru>0 or ncc>0), the bidiagonal QR algorithm is used, switching between zero-shift and implicitly shifted forms to preserve the accuracy of small singular values, and switching between QR and QL variants in order to handle graded matrices effectively (see Demmel and Kahan (1990)). If only singular values are required (i.e., if ncvt=nru=ncc=0), they are computed by the differential qd algorithm (see Fernando and Parlett (1994)), which is faster and can achieve even greater accuracy.
The singular vectors are normalized so that ui=vi=1, but are determined only to within a complex factor of absolute value 1.

7 Accuracy

Each singular value and singular vector is computed to high relative accuracy. However, the reduction to bidiagonal form (prior to calling the function) may exclude the possibility of obtaining high relative accuracy in the small singular values of the original matrix if its singular values vary widely in magnitude.
If σi is an exact singular value of B and σ~i is the corresponding computed value, then
|σ~i-σi| p (m,n) ε σi  
where p(m,n) is a modestly increasing function of m and n, and ε is the machine precision. If only singular values are computed, they are computed more accurately (i.e., the function p(m,n) is smaller), than when some singular vectors are also computed.
If ui is an exact left singular vector of B, and u~i is the corresponding computed left singular vector, then the angle θ(u~i,ui) between them is bounded as follows:
θ (u~i,ui) p (m,n) ε relgapi  
where relgapi is the relative gap between σi and the other singular values, defined by
relgapi = min ij |σi-σj| (σi+σj) .  
A similar error bound holds for the right singular vectors.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f08msc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08msc 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

The total number of real floating-point operations is roughly proportional to n2 if only the singular values are computed. About 12n2×nru additional operations are required to compute the left singular vectors and about 12n2×ncvt to compute the right singular vectors. The operations to compute the singular values must all be performed in scalar mode; the additional operations to compute the singular vectors can be vectorized and on some machines may be performed much faster.
The real analogue of this function is f08mec.
