When to use Singular Value Decomposition
Use this matrix operation to transform, inspect, serialize, or decompose a rectangular numeric array with known dimensions and mathematical assumptions.
- Matrix
- Required list input.
How Singular Value Decomposition works
Compute a thin SVD A = UΣVᵀ for a real matrix up to 20×20 with one-sided Jacobi rotations. Singular values are sorted descending; numerical precision depends on matrix conditioning. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Left singular vectors
- The resulting left singular vectors returned as a list.
- Singular values
- The resulting singular values returned as a list.
- Transposed right singular vectors
- The resulting transposed right singular vectors returned as a list.
Limitations and assumptions
- Dimension compatibility, numeric conditioning, symmetry, positive definiteness, rank, scaling, tolerance, and floating-point precision affect matrix results. Serialization formats may lose types or precision.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check dimensions and prerequisites, compute reconstruction or residual error for decompositions, and compare ill-conditioned cases with a trusted numerical library.
