SVD Analysis of Linear Map of the Unit Circle


SVD_CIRCLE, a MATLAB program which analyzes a linear map of the unit circle caused by an arbitrary 2x2 matrix A, using the singular value decomposition.

The singular value decomposition has uses in solving overdetermined or underdetermined linear systems, linear least squares problems, data compression, the pseudoinverse matrix, reduced order modeling, and the accurate computation of matrix rank and null space.

The singular value decomposition of an M by N rectangular matrix A has the form

        A(mxn) = U(mxm) * S(mxn) * V'(nxn)
      
where Note that the transpose of V is used in the decomposition, and that the diagonal matrix S is typically stored as a vector.
