Imports System Imports CenterSpace.NMath.Core Namespace CenterSpace.NMath.Examples.VisualBasic A .NET example in Visual Basic demonstrating the features of the singular value decomposition class. Module SVDecompExample Sub Main() A general m x n system with random entries. Dim Rng As New RandGenUniform(-1, 1) Rng.Reset(&H124) Dim Rows As Integer = 6 Dim Cols As Integer = 3 Dim A As New DoubleComplexMatrix(Rows, Cols, Rng) Construct a QR decomposition of A. Dim Decomp As New DoubleComplexSVDecomp(A) Console.WriteLine() Look at the components of the factorization A = USV. Console.WriteLine("U = ") Console.WriteLine(Decomp.LeftVectors.ToTabDelimited("G3")) Console.WriteLine("B = ") Console.WriteLine(Decomp.RightVectors.ToTabDelimited("G3")) Console.Write("s = ") Console.WriteLine(Decomp.SingularValues) U = (-0.177,0.467) (-0.204,0.0897) (0.0996,-0.151) (0.102,0.0811) (0.211,0.12) (0.0504,-0.243) (0.0774,-0.56) (-0.261,0.0474) (0.133,0.382) (0.247,-0.152) (0.026,0.287) (-0.449,-0.173) (0.13,-0.513) (0.165,-0.241) (0.287,-0.644) (-0.147,-0.168) (0.298,0.751) (-0.0955,-0.0581) B = (0.556,0) (0.674,0) (-0.486,0) (-0.644,-0.174) (0.512,-0.214) (-0.0265,-0.496) (-0.454,0.199) (0.336,0.353) (-0.0537,0.717) s = [ 2.30473458507626 1.59555281597513 1.05912909184625 ] Note that the singular values, elements on the main diagonal of the diagonal matrix S, are returned as a vector. The class DoubleComplexSVDecompServer allows more control over the computation. Suppose that you am only interested in the singular values, not the vectors. You can configure a DoubleComplexSVDecompServer object to compute just the singular values. Dim DecompServer As New DoubleComplexSVDecompServer() DecompServer.ComputeLeftVectors = False DecompServer.ComputeRightVectors = False Decomp = DecompServer.GetDecomp(A) Console.WriteLine() Console.Write("Number of right vectors computed: ") Console.WriteLine(Decomp.NumberRightVectors) 0 Console.WriteLine() Console.Write("Number of left vectors computed: ") Console.WriteLine(Decomp.NumberLeftVectors) 0 By default, the "reduced" SVD is computed, that is, if A is m x n then U is m x n. The "full" SVD is obtained by adjoining an addition m -n (assuming m > n) orthonormal columns to U making it a m x m unitary matrix. The singular value decomposition server object can be configured to compute the full SVD: DecompServer.ComputeLeftVectors = True DecompServer.ComputeFull = True Decomp = DecompServer.GetDecomp(A) Console.WriteLine() Console.WriteLine("Full SVD, U = ") Console.WriteLine(Decomp.LeftVectors.ToTabDelimited("G5")) Full SVD, U = (-0.17729,0.46733) (-0.20351,0.089678) (0.099576,-0.15138) (0.15718,-0.15252) (0.62805,0.4364) (-0.052634,-0.17958) (0.10202,0.081075) (0.21072,0.11971) (0.0504,-0.2434) (-0.1824,0.22817) (-0.081697,0.34255) (-0.60561,0.53516) (0.077361,-0.55956) (-0.26138,0.047439) (0.13273,0.38226) (0.038401,0.41859) (0.431,0.038413) (-0.2681,-0.10388) (0.24748,-0.15212) (0.026012,0.28707) (-0.44923,-0.17313) (0.70087,-0.030787) (-0.1625,0.13184) (-0.17238,-0.1873) (0.12984,-0.51288) (0.16486,-0.24073) (0.28688,-0.64427) (-0.073218,-0.25794) (0.1492,0.089866) (0.038802,-0.18397) (-0.14678,-0.16813) (0.29846,0.75096) (-0.095458,-0.058056) (-0.33519,0.11664) (0.071816,0.15674) (0.33872,-0.11948) You can also set a tolerance for the singular values. Singular values whose value is less than the tolerance are set to zero. The number of singular vectors are adjusted accordingly. Make A rank deficient. A.Col(0)(Slice.All) = A.Col(1) Two equal columns. DecompServer.ComputeFull = False DecompServer.ComputeLeftVectors = True DecompServer.ComputeRightVectors = True Decomp = DecompServer.GetDecomp(A) Console.Write("Rank of A = ") Console.WriteLine(Decomp.Rank) 3 Apparently A has full rank. Lets look at the smallest singular value. Singular values are arranged in descending order, so the smallest value is the last value. Console.WriteLine() Console.Write("Smallest singular value = ") Console.WriteLine(Decomp.SingularValue(2)) 5.48294957152069E-17 This singular value is equal to 0, within machine precision. Truncating the SVD will set this value to 0. Dim Tolerance As Double = 0.0000000000000001 DecompServer.Tolerance = 0.0000000000000001 Decomp = DecompServer.GetDecomp(A) Now look at the rank. Console.WriteLine() Console.Write("Rank of A = ") Console.WriteLine(Decomp.Rank) 2 You can also truncate an existing decomp by calling its truncate method with a specified tolerance. Tolerance *= 10000 Decomp.Truncate(Tolerance) Console.WriteLine() Console.WriteLine("Press Enter Key") Console.Read() End Sub End Module End Namespace← All NMath Code Examples
