Purpose

nag_real_partial_svd (f02wgc) returns leading terms in the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a real general matrix and computes the corresponding left and right singular vectors.

Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagf02.h>

void

nag_real_partial_svd (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, Integer k, Integer ncv,

void	(av)(Integer iflag, Integer m, Integer n, const double x[], double ax[], Nag_Comm *comm),

Integer *nconv, double sigma[], double u[], Integer pdu, double v[], Integer pdv, double resid[], Nag_Comm *comm, NagError *fail)

Description

nag_real_partial_svd (f02wgc) computes a few,

k

, of the largest singular values and corresponding vectors of an

m

by

n

matrix

A

. The value of

k

should be small relative to

m

and

n

, for example

k \sim O (\min (m, n))

. The full singular value decomposition (SVD) of an

m

by

n

matrix

A

is given by

A = U Σ V^{T},

where

U

and

V

are orthogonal and

Σ

is an

m

by

n

diagonal matrix with real diagonal elements,

σ_{i}

, such that

σ_{1} \geq σ_{2} \geq \dots \geq σ_{\min (m, n)} \geq 0 .

The

σ_{i}

are the singular values of

A

and the first

\min (m, n)

columns of

U

and

V

are the left and right singular vectors of

A

.

If

U_{k}

,

V_{k}

denote the leading

k

columns of

U

and

V

respectively, and if

Σ_{k}

denotes the leading principal submatrix of

Σ

, then

A_{k} \equiv U_{k} Σ_{k} {V^{T}}_{k}

is the best rank-

k

approximation to

A

in both the

2

-norm and the Frobenius norm.

The singular values and singular vectors satisfy

A v_{i} = σ_{i} u_{i} and A^{T} u_{i} = σ_{i} v_{i} so that A^{T} A ν_{i} = σ_{i}^{2} ν_{i} ​ and ​ A A^{T} u_{i} = σ_{i}^{2} u_{i},

where

u_{i}

and

v_{i}

are the

i

th columns of

U_{k}

and

V_{k}

respectively.

Thus, for

m \geq n

, the largest singular values and corresponding right singular vectors are computed by finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the symmetric matrix

A^{T} A

. For

m < n

, the largest singular values and corresponding left singular vectors are computed by finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the symmetric matrix

A A^{T}

. These eigenvalues and eigenvectors are found using functions from Chapter f12. You should read the f12 Chapter Introduction for full details of the method used here.

The real matrix

A

is not explicitly supplied to nag_real_partial_svd (f02wgc). Instead, you are required to supply a function, av, that must calculate one of the requested matrix-vector products

A x

or

A^{T} x

for a given real vector

x

(of length

n

or

m

respectively).

Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderTypeInput

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by

order = Nag_RowMajor

. See Section 3.3.1.3 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

or

Nag_ColMajor

.

2: $m$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

.

Constraint:

m \geq 0

.

If

m = 0

, an immediate return is effected.

3: $n$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

.

Constraint:

n \geq 0

.

If

n = 0

, an immediate return is effected.

4: $k$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

k

, the number of singular values to be computed.

Constraint:

0 < k < \min (m, n) - 1

.

5: $ncv$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the dimension of the arrays sigma and resid. This is the number of Lanczos basis vectors to use during the computation of the largest eigenvalues of

A^{T} A

(

m \geq n

) or

A A^{T}

(

m < n

).

At present there is no a priori analysis to guide the selection of ncv relative to k. However, it is recommended that

ncv \geq 2 \times k + 1

. If many problems of the same type are to be solved, you should experiment with varying ncv while keeping k fixed for a given test problem. This will usually decrease the required number of matrix-vector operations but it also increases the internal storage required to maintain the orthogonal basis vectors. The optimal ‘cross-over’ with respect to CPU time is problem dependent and must be determined empirically.

Constraint:

k < ncv \leq \min (m, n)

.

6: $av$ – function, supplied by the userExternal Function

av must return the vector result of the matrix-vector product

A x

or

A^{T} x

, as indicated by the input value of iflag, for the given vector

x

.

The specification of av is:

void	av (Integer iflag, Integer m, Integer n, const double x[], double ax[], Nag_Comm comm)

1: $iflag$ – Integer *Input/Output

On entry: if

iflag = 1

, ax must return the

m

-vector result of the matrix-vector product

A x

.

If

iflag = 2

, ax must return the

n

-vector result of the matrix-vector product

A^{T} x

.

On exit: may be used as a flag to indicate a failure in the computation of

A x

or

A^{T} x

. If iflag is negative on exit from av, nag_real_partial_svd (f02wgc) will exit immediately with fail set to iflag.

A

.

3: $n$ – IntegerInput

m

-vector result of the matrix-vector product

A x

.

If

iflag = 2

, contains the

n

-vector result of the matrix-vector product

A^{T} x

.

6: $comm$ – Nag_Comm *

Pointer to structure of type Nag_Comm; the following members are relevant to av.

user – double *
iuser – Integer *
p – Pointer: The type Pointer will be void *. Before calling nag_real_partial_svd (f02wgc) you may allocate memory and initialize these pointers with various quantities for use by av when called from nag_real_partial_svd (f02wgc) (see Section 3.3.1.1 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

Note: av should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by nag_real_partial_svd (f02wgc). If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, nag_real_partial_svd (f02wgc) is likely to produce unexpected results.
