sva Scilab Function

sva - singular value approximation

Calling Sequence

[U,s,V]=sva(A,k)

[U,s,V]=sva(A,tol)

Parameters

A : real or complex matrix
k : integer
tol : nonnegative real number

Description

Singular value approximation.

[U,S,V]=sva(A,k) with k an integer >=1, returns U,S and V such that B=U*S*V' is the best L2 approximation of A with rank(B)=k.

[U,S,V]=sva(A,tol) with tol a real number, returns U,S and V such that B=U*S*V' such that L2-norm of A-B is at most tol.

Examples


A=rand(5,4)*rand(4,5);
[U,s,V]=sva(A,2);
B=U*s*V';
svd(A)
svd(B)
clean(svd(A-B))
