svd_matrixT_svd_matrixSvdMatrixSvdMatrix (Operator)

Name

svd_matrixT_svd_matrixSvdMatrixSvdMatrix — Compute the singular value decomposition of a matrix.

Signature

Description

The operator svd_matrixsvd_matrixSvdMatrixSvdMatrixSvdMatrix computes a full or reduced singular value decomposition (SVD) of the MatrixMatrixMatrixMatrixmatrix defined by the matrix handle MatrixIDMatrixIDMatrixIDMatrixIDmatrixID. The operator returns the matrix handle MatrixSIDMatrixSIDMatrixSIDMatrixSIDmatrixSID of the matrix MatrixSMatrixSMatrixSMatrixSmatrixS with singular values in descending order. Optionally, the matrices MatrixUMatrixUMatrixUMatrixUmatrixU with the left and MatrixVMatrixVMatrixVMatrixVmatrixV with the right singular vectors are computed and the matrix handles MatrixUIDMatrixUIDMatrixUIDMatrixUIDmatrixUID and MatrixVIDMatrixVIDMatrixVIDMatrixVIDmatrixVID are returned. Access to the elements of the matrices is possible e.g. with the operator get_full_matrixget_full_matrixGetFullMatrixGetFullMatrixGetFullMatrix. The SVD is written

For SVDTypeSVDTypeSVDTypeSVDTypeSVDType = 'full'"full""full""full""full", a full SVD is computed.

Example:

For SVDTypeSVDTypeSVDTypeSVDTypeSVDType = 'reduced'"reduced""reduced""reduced""reduced", a reduced SVD is computed.

Example:

For ComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorscomputeSingularVectors = 'left'"left""left""left""left", the matrix MatrixUMatrixUMatrixUMatrixUmatrixU with the left singular vectors is computed. For ComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorscomputeSingularVectors = 'right'"right""right""right""right", the matrix MatrixVMatrixVMatrixVMatrixVmatrixV with the right singular vectors is computed. For ComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorscomputeSingularVectors = 'both'"both""both""both""both", the matrices MatrixUMatrixUMatrixUMatrixUmatrixU and MatrixVMatrixVMatrixVMatrixVmatrixV with the left and right singular vectors are computed.

For ComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorsComputeSingularVectorscomputeSingularVectors = 'none'"none""none""none""none", no matrices with the singular vectors are computed. The matrix MatrixSMatrixSMatrixSMatrixSmatrixS is a matrix with n rows and one column, where the number n = min(number of rows of the input MatrixMatrixMatrixMatrixmatrix, number of columns of the input MatrixMatrixMatrixMatrixmatrix).

Example:

It should be noted that in the examples there are differences in the meaning of the values of the output matrices: If a value is shown as an integer number, e.g., 0 or 1, the value of this element is per definition this certain value. If the number is shown as a floating point number, e.g., 0.0 or 1.0, the value is computed by the operator.

Execution Information

• Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
• Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
• Processed without parallelization.

Parameters

Result

If the parameters are valid, the operator svd_matrixsvd_matrixSvdMatrixSvdMatrixSvdMatrix returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). If necessary, an exception is raised.
