What is the singular value decomposition of a symmetric matrix?
If A is a symmetric matrix the singular values are the absolute values of the eigenvalues of A: σi=|λi| and the columns of U=V are the eigenvectors of A. If in addition A is a symmetric positive definite matrix then U,V,Σ are square non-singular matrices.
Does SVD work for any matrix?
Also, singular value decomposition is defined for all matrices (rectangular or square) unlike the more commonly used spectral decomposition in Linear Algebra.
Can you do SVD on a non square matrix?
What is the Singular Value Decomposition? The singular value decomposition (SVD) is a way to decompose a matrix into constituent parts. It is a more general form of the eigendecomposition. While the eigendecomposition is limited to square matrices, the singular value decomposition can be applied to non-square matrices.
Is the SVD of a matrix always unique?
Uniqueness of the SVD
The singular values are unique and, for distinct positive singular values, sj > 0, the jth columns of U and V are also unique up to a sign change of both columns. 2.
