The routine may be called by the names f08msf, nagf_lapackeig_zbdsqr or its LAPACK name zbdsqr.
3Description
f08msf computes the singular values and, optionally, the left or right singular vectors of a real upper or lower bidiagonal matrix . In other words, it can compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of as
Here is a diagonal matrix with real diagonal elements (the singular values of ), such that
is an orthogonal matrix whose columns are the left singular vectors ; is an orthogonal matrix whose rows are the right singular vectors . Thus
To compute and/or , the arrays u and/or vt must be initialized to the unit matrix before f08msf is called.
The routine stores the real orthogonal matrices and in complex arrays u and vt, so that it may also be used to compute the SVD of a complex general matrix which has been reduced to bidiagonal form by a unitary transformation: . If is with , then is and is ; if is with , then is and is . In this case, the matrices and/or must be formed explicitly by f08ktf and passed to f08msf in the arrays u and/or vt respectively.
f08msf also has the capability of forming , where is an arbitrary complex matrix; this is needed when using the SVD to solve linear least squares problems.
f08msf uses two different algorithms. If any singular vectors are required (i.e., if or or ), the bidiagonal algorithm is used, switching between zero-shift and implicitly shifted forms to preserve the accuracy of small singular values, and switching between and variants in order to handle graded matrices effectively (see Demmel and Kahan (1990)). If only singular values are required (i.e., if ), 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 , but are determined only to within a complex factor of absolute value .

7Accuracy
Each singular value and singular vector is computed to high relative accuracy. However, the reduction to bidiagonal form (prior to calling the routine) 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 is an exact singular value of and is the corresponding computed value, then
where is a modestly increasing function of and , and is the machine precision. If only singular values are computed, they are computed more accurately (i.e., the function is smaller), than when some singular vectors are also computed.
If is an exact left singular vector of , and is the corresponding computed left singular vector, then the angle between them is bounded as follows:
where is the relative gap between and the other singular values, defined by
A similar error bound holds for the right singular vectors.
8Parallelism and Performance
f08msf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08msf 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.
9Further Comments
The total number of real floating-point operations is roughly proportional to if only the singular values are computed. About additional operations are required to compute the left singular vectors and about 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.
