svd_test


svd_test, a Fortran90 code which demonstrates the computation of the singular value decomposition (SVD) and a few of its properties.

The singular value decomposition has uses in solving overdetermined or underdetermined linear systems, linear least squares problems, data compression, the pseudoinverse matrix, reduced order modeling, and the accurate computation of matrix rank and null space.

The singular value decomposition of an M by N rectangular matrix A has the form

        A(mxn) = U(mxm) * S(mxn) * V'(nxn)
      
where Note that the transpose of V is used in the decomposition, and that the diagonal matrix S is typically stored as a vector.

Usage:

svd_test m n seed
