PURPOSE
SGESDD computes the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a real M-by-N
matrix A, optionally computing the left and right singular vectors. If
singular vectors are desired, it uses a divide-and-conquer algorithm.
The SVD is written
A = U * SIGMA * transpose(V)
where SIGMA is an M-by-N matrix which is zero except for its min(m,n)
diagonal elements, U is an M-by-M orthogonal matrix, and V is an N-by-N
orthogonal matrix. The diagonal elements of SIGMA are the singular
values of A; they are real and non-negative, and are returned in
descending order. The first min(m,n) columns of U and V are the left
and right singular vectors of A.
Note that the routine returns VT = V**T, not V.
The divide and conquer algorithm makes very mild assumptions about
floating point arithmetic. It will work on machines with a guard digit
in add/subtract, or on those binary machines without guard digits which
subtract like the Cray X-MP, Cray Y-MP, Cray C-90, or Cray-2. It could
conceivably fail on hexadecimal or decimal machines without guard dig‐
its, but we know of none.
ARGUMENTS
JOBZ (input) CHARACTER*1
Specifies options for computing all or part of the matrix U:
= 'A': all M columns of U and all N rows of V**T are returned
in the arrays U and VT; = 'S': the first min(M,N) columns of U
and the first min(M,N) rows of V**T are returned in the arrays
U and VT; = 'O': If M >= N, the first N columns of U are over‐
written on the array A and all rows of V**T are returned in the
array VT; otherwise, all columns of U are returned in the array
U and the first M rows of V**T are overwritten in the array A;
= 'N': no columns of U or rows of V**T are computed.
M (input) INTEGER
The number of rows of the input matrix A. M >= 0.
N (input) INTEGER
The number of columns of the input matrix A. N >= 0.
A (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
On entry, the M-by-N matrix A. On exit, if JOBZ = 'O', A is
overwritten with the first N columns of U (the left singular
vectors, stored columnwise) if M >= N; A is overwritten with
the first M rows of V**T (the right singular vectors, stored
rowwise) otherwise. if JOBZ .ne. 'O', the contents of A are
destroyed.
LDA (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,M).
S (output) REAL array, dimension (min(M,N))
The singular values of A, sorted so that S(i) >= S(i+1).
U (output) REAL array, dimension (LDU,UCOL)
UCOL = M if JOBZ = 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M < N; UCOL = min(M,N)
if JOBZ = 'S'. If JOBZ = 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M < N, U con‐
tains the M-by-M orthogonal matrix U; if JOBZ = 'S', U contains
the first min(M,N) columns of U (the left singular vectors,
stored columnwise); if JOBZ = 'O' and M >= N, or JOBZ = 'N', U
is not referenced.
LDU (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array U. LDU >= 1; if JOBZ = 'S'
or 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M < N, LDU >= M.
VT (output) REAL array, dimension (LDVT,N)
If JOBZ = 'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M >= N, VT contains the N-by-N
orthogonal matrix V**T; if JOBZ = 'S', VT contains the first
min(M,N) rows of V**T (the right singular vectors, stored row‐
wise); if JOBZ = 'O' and M < N, or JOBZ = 'N', VT is not refer‐
enced.
LDVT (input) INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array VT. LDVT >= 1; if JOBZ =
'A' or JOBZ = 'O' and M >= N, LDVT >= N; if JOBZ = 'S', LDVT >=
min(M,N).
WORK (workspace/output) REAL array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))
On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK;
LWORK (input) INTEGER
The dimension of the array WORK. LWORK >= 1. If JOBZ = 'N',
LWORK >= 3*min(M,N) + max(max(M,N),6*min(M,N)). If JOBZ = 'O',
LWORK >= 3*min(M,N)*min(M,N) +
max(max(M,N),5*min(M,N)*min(M,N)+4*min(M,N)). If JOBZ = 'S' or
'A' LWORK >= 3*min(M,N)*min(M,N) +
max(max(M,N),4*min(M,N)*min(M,N)+4*min(M,N)). For good perfor‐
mance, LWORK should generally be larger. If LWORK = -1 but
other input arguments are legal, WORK(1) returns the optimal
LWORK.
IWORK (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (8*min(M,N))
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit.
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
> 0: SBDSDC did not converge, updating process failed.
