The analytic SVD: On the non-generic points on the path

Dáša Janovská and Vladimír Janovský

Abstract

A new technique for computing the Analytic SVD is proposed. The idea is to follow a branch of just one simple singular value and the corresponding left/right singular vector. Numerical computation may collapse at non-generic points; we will consider the case when the continuation gets stuck due to a nonzero multiple singular value. We interpret such a point as a singularity of the branch. We employ singularity theory in order to describe and classify this point. Since its codimension is one, we meet such a point “rarely.”
