The singular value decomposition is very general in the sense that it can be applied to any matrix, whereas eigenvalue decomposition can only be applied to square diagonalizable matrices. Nevertheless, the two decompositions are related.
Let A be a square n × n matrix with n linearly independent eigenvectors q i (where i = 1, ..., n).Then A can be factored as = where Q is the square n × n matrix whose i th column is the eigenvector q i of A, and Λ is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the corresponding eigenvalues, Λ ii = λ i.
The singular values are non-negative real numbers, usually listed in decreasing order (σ 1 (T), σ 2 (T), …). The largest singular value σ 1 (T) is equal to the operator norm of T (see Min-max theorem). Visualization of a singular value decomposition (SVD) of a 2-dimensional, real shearing matrix M.
That is, there exist two distinct elements x,y in X such that (T − λ)(x) = (T − λ)(y). Then z = x − y is a non-zero vector such that T(z) = λz. In other words, λ is an eigenvalue of T in the sense of linear algebra. In this case, λ is said to be in the point spectrum of T, denoted σ p (T).
The truncation of a matrix M or T using a truncated singular value decomposition in this way produces a truncated matrix that is the nearest possible matrix of rank L to the original matrix, in the sense of the difference between the two having the smallest possible Frobenius norm, a result known as the Eckart–Young theorem [1936].
Applicable to: square, complex, non-singular matrix A. [5] Decomposition: =, where Q is a complex orthogonal matrix and S is complex symmetric matrix. Uniqueness: If has no negative real eigenvalues, then the decomposition is unique. [6]
In machine learning, kernel functions are often represented as Gram matrices. [2] (Also see kernel PCA) Since the Gram matrix over the reals is a symmetric matrix, it is diagonalizable and its eigenvalues are non-negative. The diagonalization of the Gram matrix is the singular value decomposition.
The singular value decomposition of a matrix is = where U and V are unitary, and is diagonal.The diagonal entries of are called the singular values of A.Because singular values are the square roots of the eigenvalues of , there is a tight connection between the singular value decomposition and eigenvalue decompositions.
