Singular value decomposition: History & Applications

In linear algebra, the singular value decomposition (SVD) is a factorization of a real or complex matrix into a rotation, followed by a scaling, followed by another rotation. It generalizes the eigendecomposition of a square normal matrix with an orthonormal eigenbasis to any ⁠ m × n {\displaystyle m\times n} ⁠ matrix. It is related to the polar…
