Summary of Lecture 13: Introduction to Singular Value Decomposition (Part-1) |GO Classes Linear Algebra GATE DA

Main Ideas and Concepts

• Diagonalization and Eigenvalue Decomposition:

  The lecture begins with a review of Diagonalization, where a matrix A can be represented as A = V Λ V^-1, where V is a matrix of Eigenvectors and Λ is a diagonal matrix of Eigenvalues. A matrix is diagonalizable if it has n linearly independent Eigenvectors.

• Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors:

  The process of finding Eigenvalues involves solving the equation Ax = λ x. The Eigenvectors corresponding to repeated Eigenvalues may not be linearly independent, affecting the diagonalizability of the matrix.

• Singular Value Decomposition (SVD):

  SVD allows for the decomposition of any m × n matrix A into three matrices: A = U Σ V^T. U and V are orthogonal matrices containing the left and right singular vectors, respectively, and Σ is a diagonal matrix containing singular values.

• Gram-Schmidt Process:

  The Gram-Schmidt Process is introduced as a method to convert a set of vectors into an orthonormal set. It involves subtracting the projections of vectors onto the previously established orthonormal vectors.

• Applications of SVD:

  SVD is useful for dimensionality reduction, data compression, and solving linear systems. The singular values provide insight into the rank and condition of the matrix.

Methodology/Instructions

• Diagonalization:

  Check if a matrix is diagonalizable by finding n linearly independent Eigenvectors. If diagonalizable, express it as A = V Λ V^-1.

• Finding Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors:

  For a given matrix A, solve det(A - λ I) = 0 to find Eigenvalues λ. For each eigenvalue, solve (A - λ I)x = 0 to find corresponding Eigenvectors.

• Applying SVD:

  Compute A^T A and AA^T to find Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors. Form V from the Eigenvectors of A^T A and U from the Eigenvectors of AA^T. The singular values in Σ are the square roots of the Eigenvalues of A^T A.

• Using the Gram-Schmidt Process:

  Start with a set of linearly independent vectors. For each vector V_i, subtract the projections onto the previously computed orthonormal vectors to create an orthonormal set.
