Singular Value Decomposition

Matrix Decomposition

A singular value decomposition (SVD) is a generalization of this where A is an m×n which does not have to be symmetric or even square.

SINGULAR VALUE DECOMPOSITION

If A is a symmetric n×n matrix, then A has real eigenvalues λ1, λ2, λ3 ... ... λn (possibly repeated) and Rn has an orthonormal basis v1, v2, v3 …. vn where each vector vi is an eigenvector of A with eigenvalue λi. Then A = PDP‒1 where P is the matrix whose columns are v1, v2, v3 ... vn and D is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal entries are λ1, λ2, ... λn. Since the vectors v1, v2, v3 ... vn are orthonormal, the matrix P is orthogonal. PTP = I, so we can alternately write this equation as

  A = PDPT

A singular value decomposition (SVD) is a generalization of this where A is an m×n which does not have to be symmetric or even square.

 

1. Singular values

Let A be an m×n matrix. Before explaining the singular value decomposition, we need to define the singular values of A.

Consider the matrix ATA. This is a symmetric n×n matrix and its eigenvalues are real.

If λ is an eigenvalue of ATA; then λ>0.

(ie) Let X be an eigenvector of ATA with eigenvalue λ.

 ||AX||2 = (AX) • (AX)

= (AX)T(AX)

= XTATAX

= XT (λX)

= λ XTX

 || AX ||2 = λ|| X ||2

Since || AX ||2 ≥ 0, it follows from the above equation λ||X||2≥0. Since || X||2>0, we deduce that λ≥0.

Let λ1, λ2, λ3 ... λn be the eigenvalues of ATA, with repetitions. Order these so that λ1 ≥ λ2 ≥ λ3 …. ≥  λn ≥0.

Let σ√(λi), so that σ1 ≥ σ2 ≥ σ3 ...  ≥ σn ≥ 0.

The numbers σ1 ≥ σ2 ≥ σ3 ...  ≥ σn ≥ 0 are called the singular values of A.

 

2. Singular value decomposition

Let A be an m×n matrix with singular values σ1 ≥ σ2 ≥ σ3 ...  ≥ σn ≥ 0. Let r denote the number of non−zero singular values of A or equivalently the rank of A.

A singular value decomposition of A is a factorization

      A = UΣVT

Here U is an m×m orthogonal matrix and the column of U are the left−singular vectors of A.

V is an n×n orthogonal matrix, and the columns of V are the right singular vectors of A. Σ is an m×n rectangular diagonal matrix whose ith diagonal entry equals the ith singular value σi for i = 1, 2... r.

All other entries of Σ are zero. The diagonal entries of Σ are the singular values, which are non−negative and typically arranged in descending order.
