Exercise 1.9.6

Answers

If S = QT is a symmetric positive definite matrix. Then all of its eigenvalues are positive, so S = QT is actually a SVD form and Λ is the singular value matrix, Q is the singular vector matrix. So q1λ1q1T is the closest rank-1 approximation to S in the L2 matrix norm ||S||2 if λ1 is the largest eigenvalue.
