Exercise 6.7.19

Answers

1.
The nonzero singular values of A are the positive square roots of the nonzero eigenvalues of AA. But the eigenvalues of AA and that of AA are the same by Exercise 6.7.9(c). Hence we know that the singular value decomposition of A and that of A are the same.

Also, we have

(At)At = A¯A¯ = AA¯.

Since AA is self-adjoint, its eigenvalues are always real. We get that if AA(x) = λx, then we have

(At)At(x¯) = AA(x)¯ = λ¯x¯ = λx¯,

here A¯ means the matrix consisting of the conjugate of the entries of A. Hence the singular value of At and that of A are all the same.

Let A = UΣV be a singular value decomposition of A. Then we have A = V ΣU. So
(A) = U(Σ)V = U(Σ)V = (A).

Let A = UΣV be a singular value decomposition of A. Then we have At = (V )tΣtUt. So
(At) = (Ut)(Σt)V t = (U)t(Σ)tV t = (A)t.
