f08mec (dbdsqr)

f08mec computes the singular value decomposition of a real upper or lower bidiagonal matrix, or of a real general matrix which has been reduced to bidiagonal form.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

void	f08mec (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, Integer ncvt, Integer nru, Integer ncc, double d[], double e[], double vt[], Integer pdvt, double u[], Integer pdu, double c[], Integer pdc, NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f08mec, nag_lapackeig_dbdsqr or nag_dbdsqr.

3 Description

f08mec 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

B = U Σ V^{T} .

Here

Σ

is a diagonal matrix with real diagonal elements

σ_{i}

(the singular values of

B

), such that

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

U

is an orthogonal matrix whose columns are the left singular vectors

u_{i}

;

V

is an orthogonal matrix whose rows are the right singular vectors

v_{i}

. Thus

B u_{i} = σ_{i} v_{i} and B^{T} v_{i} = σ_{i} u_{i}, i = 1, 2, \dots, n .

To compute

U

and/or

V^{T}

, the arrays u and/or vt must be initialized to the unit matrix before f08mec is called.

The function may also be used to compute the SVD of a real general matrix

A

which has been reduced to bidiagonal form by an orthogonal transformation:

A = Q B P^{T}

. If

A

m \times n

with

m \geq n

, then

Q

m \times n

and

P^{T}

n \times n

; if

A

n \times p

with

n < p

, then

Q

n \times n

and

P^{T}

n \times p

. In this case, the matrices

Q

and/or

P^{T}

must be formed explicitly by f08kfc and passed to f08mec in the arrays u and/or vt respectively.

f08mec also has the capability of forming

U^{T} C

, where

C

is an arbitrary real matrix; this is needed when using the SVD to solve linear least squares problems.

f08mec uses two different algorithms. If any singular vectors are required (i.e., if

ncvt > 0

nru > 0

ncc > 0

), the bidiagonal

Q R

algorithm is used, switching between zero-shift and implicitly shifted forms to preserve the accuracy of small singular values, and switching between

Q R

and

Q L

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

‖ u_{i} ‖ = ‖ v_{i} ‖ = 1

, but are determined only to within a factor

\pm 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.

σ_{i}

is an exact singular value of

B

and

{\tilde{σ}}_{i}

is the corresponding computed value, then

| {\tilde{σ}}_{i} - σ_{i} | \leq p (m, n) ε σ_{i}

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.

u_{i}

is the corresponding exact left singular vector of

B

, and

{\tilde{u}}_{i}

is the corresponding computed left singular vector, then the angle

θ ({\tilde{u}}_{i}, u_{i})

between them is bounded as follows:

θ ({\tilde{u}}_{i}, u_{i}) \leq \frac{p (m, n) ε}{{relgap}_{i}}

where

{relgap}_{i}

is the relative gap between

σ_{i}

and the other singular values, defined by

{relgap}_{i} = \min_{i \neq j} \frac{| σ_{i} - σ_{j} |}{(σ_{i} + σ_{j})} .

A similar error bound holds for the right singular vectors.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

f08mec is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08mec 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 floating-point operations is roughly proportional to

n^{2}

if only the singular values are computed. About

6 n^{2} \times nru

additional operations are required to compute the left singular vectors and about

6 n^{2} \times 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 complex analogue of this function is f08msc.

10 Example

This example computes the singular value decomposition of the upper bidiagonal matrix

B

, where

B = (\begin{array}{r} 3.62 & 1.26 & 0.00 & 0.00 \\ 0.00 & - 2.41 & - 1.53 & 0.00 \\ 0.00 & 0.00 & 1.92 & 1.19 \\ 0.00 & 0.00 & 0.00 & - 1.43 \end{array}) .

See also the example for f08kfc, which illustrates the use of the function to compute the singular value decomposition of a general matrix.
