singular value decomposition  

Definition

  • In linear algebra, the singular value decomposition (SVD) is a factorization of a real or complex matrix. It generalizes the eigendecomposition of a square normal matrix with an orthonormal eigenbasis to any m × n matrix. It is related to the polar decomposition.
