Short Answer

In Exercises 17–24, \(A\) is an \(m \times n\) matrix with a singular value decomposition \(A = U\Sigma {V^T}\) , where \(U\) is an \(m \times m\) orthogonal matrix, \({\bf{\Sigma }}\) is an \(m \times n\) “diagonal” matrix with \(r\) positive entries and no negative entries, and \(V\) is an \(n \times n\) orthogonal matrix. Justify each answer.

23. Let \(U = \left( {{u_1}...{u_m}} \right)\) and \(V = \left( {{v_1}...{v_n}} \right)\) where the \({{\bf{u}}_i}\) and \({{\bf{v}}_i}\) are in Theorem 10. Show that \(A = {\sigma _1}{u_1}v_1^T + {\sigma _2}{u_2}v_2^T + ... + {\sigma _r}{u_r}v_r^T\).

It is verified that \(A = {\sigma _1}{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}^{\bf{T}} + {\sigma _2}{{\bf{u}}_2}{\bf{v}}_2^{\bf{T}} + ... + {\sigma _r}{{\bf{u}}_r}{\bf{v}}_r^{\bf{T}}\).

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Write the matrix 

It is given that, \(U = \left( {{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{1}}}...{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{m}}}} \right)\) and \(V = \left( {{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}...{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{n}}}} \right)\)

Therefore, \({V^T} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\bf{v}}_1^T}\\{{\bf{v}}_n^T}\end{array}} \right)\)

Step 2: Compute the matrix A from SVD:

From theorem 10, \(U\sum = \left\{ {\left( {{\sigma _1}{{\bf{u}}_1}...{\sigma _r}{{\bf{u}}_r}} \right)} \right\}\) where \(r\) is the rank of the matrix \(A\), thus find \(A = U\sum {V^T}\).

\(\begin{array}{c}A = U\sum {V^T}\\ = \left\{ {\left( {{\sigma _1}{{\bf{u}}_1}...{\sigma _r}{{\bf{u}}_r}} \right)} \right\}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\bf{v}}_1^T}\\{{\bf{v}}_n^T}\end{array}} \right)\\ = {\sigma _1}{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}^{\bf{T}} + {\sigma _2}{{\bf{u}}_2}{\bf{v}}_2^{\bf{T}} + ... + {\sigma _r}{{\bf{u}}_r}{\bf{v}}_r^{\bf{T}}\end{array}\)

Hence, \(A = {\sigma _1}{{\bf{u}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}^{\bf{T}} + {\sigma _2}{{\bf{u}}_2}{\bf{v}}_2^{\bf{T}} + ... + {\sigma _r}{{\bf{u}}_r}{\bf{v}}_r^{\bf{T}}\).

Question: Mark Each statement True or False. Justify each answer. In each part, A represents an \(n \times n\) matrix.

  1. If A is orthogonally diagonizable, then A is symmetric.
  2. If A is an orthogonal matrix, then A is symmetric.
  3. If A is an orthogonal matrix, then \(\left\| {A{\bf{x}}} \right\| = \left\| {\bf{x}} \right\|\) for all x in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\).
  4. The principal axes of a quadratic from \({{\bf{x}}^T}A{\bf{x}}\) can be the columns of any matrix P that diagonalizes A.
  5. If P is an \(n \times n\) matrix with orthogonal columns, then \({P^T} = {P^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\).
  6. If every coefficient in a quadratic form is positive, then the quadratic form is positive definite.
  7. If \({{\bf{x}}^T}A{\bf{x}} > {\bf{0}}\) for some x, then the quadratic form \({{\bf{x}}^T}A{\bf{x}}\) is positive definite.
  8. By a suitable change of variable, any quadratic form can be changed into one with no cross-product term.
  9. The largest value of a quadratic form \({{\bf{x}}^T}A{\bf{x}}\), for \(\left\| {\bf{x}} \right\| = {\bf{1}}\) is the largest entery on the diagonal A.
  10. The maximum value of a positive definite quadratic form \({{\bf{x}}^T}A{\bf{x}}\) is the greatest eigenvalue of A.
  11. A positive definite quadratic form can be changed into a negative definite form by a suitable change of variable \({\bf{x}} = P{\bf{u}}\), for some orthogonal matrix P.
  12. An indefinite quadratic form is one whose eigenvalues are not definite.
  13. If P is an \(n \times n\) orthogonal matrix, then the change of variable \({\bf{x}} = P{\bf{u}}\) transforms \({{\bf{x}}^T}A{\bf{x}}\) into a quadratic form whose matrix is \({P^{ - {\bf{1}}}}AP\).
  14. If U is \(m \times n\) with orthogonal columns, then \(U{U^T}{\bf{x}}\) is the orthogonal projection of x onto ColU.
  15. If B is \(m \times n\) and x is a unit vector in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), then \(\left\| {B{\bf{x}}} \right\| \le {\sigma _{\bf{1}}}\), where \({\sigma _{\bf{1}}}\) is the first singular value of B.
  16. A singular value decomposition of an \(m \times n\) matrix B can be written as \(B = P\Sigma Q\), where P is an \(m \times n\) orthogonal matrix and \(\Sigma \) is an \(m \times n\) diagonal matrix.
  17. If A is \(n \times n\), then A and \({A^T}A\) have the same singular values.
