Computes the SVD, A = USVT, of a real rectangular matrix A. An approximate generalized inverse and rank of A also can be computed.
Synopsis
#include <imsl.h>
float *imsl_f_lin_svd_gen (int m, int n, float a[], …, 0)
The type double procedure is imsl_d_lin_svd_gen.
Required Arguments
int m (Input)
Number of rows in the matrix.
int n (Input)
Number of columns in the matrix.
float a[] (Input)
Array of size m × n containing the matrix.
Return Value
If no optional arguments are used, imsl_f_lin_svd_gen returns a pointer to an array of size min (mn) containing the ordered singular values of the matrix. To release this space, use imsl_free. If no value can be computed, then NULL is returned.

Optional Arguments
IMSL_A_COL_DIM, int a_col_dim (Input)
The column dimension of the array a.
Default: a_col_dim = n
IMSL_RETURN_USER, float s[] (Output)
A user-allocated array of size min (m+1n) containing the singular values of A in its first min (mn) positions in nonincreasing order. If IMSL_RETURN_USER is used, the return value of imsl_f_lin_svd_gen is s.
IMSL_RANK, float tol, int *rank (Input/Output)
float tol (Input)
Scalar containing the tolerance used to determine when a singular value is negligible and replaced by the value zero. If tol > 0, then a singular value si i is considered negligible if si.i  tol. If tol < 0, then a singular value si.i is considered negligible if si.i  tol*A. In this case, tol should be an estimate of relative error or uncertainty in the data.
int *rank (Input/Output)
Integer containing an estimate of the rank of A.
IMSL_U, float **p_u (Output)
**p_u: The address of a pointer to an array of size m × min (mn) containing the min (mn) left-singular vectors of A. On return, the necessary space is allocated by imsl_f_lin_svd_gen.  Typically, float *p_u is declared, and &p_u is used as an argument.
IMSL_U_USER, float u[] (Output)
u[]: The address of a pointer to an array of size m × min (mn) containing the min (mn) left-singular vectors of A. If m  n, the left-singular vectors can be returned using the storage locations of the array a.
IMSL_U_COL_DIM, int u_col_dim (Input)
The column dimension of the array containing the left-singular vectors.
Default: u_col_dim = min (mn)
IMSL_V, float **p_v (Output)
**p_v: The address of a pointer to an array of size n × n containing the right singular vectors of A. On return, the necessary space is allocated by imsl_f_lin_svd_gen. Typically, float *p_v is declared, and &p_v is used as an argument.
IMSL_V_USER, float v[] (Output)
v[]: The address of a pointer to an array of size n × n containing the right singular vectors of A. The right-singular vectors can be returned using the storage locations of the array a. Note that the return of the left- and right-singular vectors cannot use the storage locations of a simultaneously.
IMSL_V_COL_DIM, int v_col_dim (Input)
The column dimension of the array containing the right-singular vectors.
Default: v_col_dim =  n
IMSL_INVERSE, float **p_gen_inva (Output)
The address of a pointer to an array of size n × m containing the generalized inverse of the matrix A. On return, the necessary space is allocated by imsl_f_lin_svd_gen. Typically, float *p_gen_inva is declared, and &p_gen_inva is used as an argument.
IMSL_INVERSE_USER, float gen_inva[] (Output)
A user-allocated array of size n × m containing the general inverse of the matrix A.
IMSL_INV_COL_DIM, int gen_inva_col_dim (Input)
The column dimension of the array containing the general inverse of the matrix A.
Default: gen_inva_col_dim = m
Description
The function imsl_f_lin_svd_gen computes the singular value decomposition of a real matrix A. It first reduces the matrix A to a bidiagonal matrix B by pre- and post-multiplying Householder transformations. Then, the singular value decomposition of B is computed using the implicit-shifted QR algorithm. An estimate of the rank of the matrix A is obtained by finding the smallest integer k such that sk,k  tol or sk,k  tol*A. Since si+1,i+1  si,i, it follows that all the si,i satisfy the same inequality for i = k, …, min (m, n 1. The rank is set to the value k  1. If A = USVT, its generalized inverse is A+ = VS+ UT. Here,
Only singular values that are not negligible are reciprocated. If IMSL_INVERSE or IMSL_INVERSE_USER is specified, the function first computes the singular value decomposition of the matrix A. The generalized inverse is then computed. The function imsl_f_lin_svd_gen fails if the QR algorithm does not converge after 30 iterations isolating an individual singular value.
