# svd1¶

## Purpose¶

Computes the singular value decomposition of a matrix so that: $$x = u * s * v'$$.

## Format¶

{ u, s, v } = svd1(x)
Parameters: x (NxP matrix) – matrix whose singular values are to be computed u (NxN matrix) – the left singular vectors of x. s (NxP diagonal matrix) – contains the singular values of x arranged in descending order on the principal diagonal. v (PxP matrix) – the right singular vectors of x.

## Examples¶

// Create 6x3 matrix
x = { -9.35    15.67   -41.75,
-13.55    40.97    15.55,
-0.95   -17.03    40.15,
8.15    -9.73    13.15,
2.35   -36.73   -43.55,
13.35     6.87    16.45  };

// Perform matrix decomposition
{ u, s, v } = svd1(x);


After the code above, the outputs will have the following values;

u =  0.44    -0.49    -0.06     0.36    -0.24     0.61
-0.35    -0.60    -0.28     0.12     0.65    -0.08
-0.41     0.46    -0.53     0.07     0.03     0.58
-0.12     0.25     0.24     0.91     0.08    -0.18
0.67     0.35    -0.13    -0.02     0.64     0.05
-0.23     0.04     0.75    -0.17     0.33     0.50

s = 79.03     0.00     0.00
0.00    60.19     0.00
0.00     0.00    17.16
0.00     0.00     0.00
0.00     0.00     0.00
0.00     0.00     0.00

v = -0.02     0.26     0.97
-0.32    -0.91     0.24
-0.95     0.31    -0.10


## Remarks¶

1. svd1() is not thread-safe. New code should use svdusv() instead.
2. Error handling is controlled with the low bit of the trap flag.
 trap 0 set _svderr to a non-zero value and terminate with message trap 1 set _svderr to a non-zero value and continue execution
