Description

The SVD Solver block solves the linear system AX=B, which can be overdetermined, underdetermined, or exactly determined. The system is solved by applying SVD factorization to the M-by-N matrix, A, at the A port. The input to the B port is the right hand-side M-by-L matrix, B. A length-M 1-D vector input at either port is treated as an M-by-1 matrix.

The output at the x port is the N-by-L matrix, X. X is always sample based, and is chosen to minimize the sum of the squares of the elements of B-AX. When B is a vector, this solution minimizes the vector 2-norm of the residual (B-AX is the residual). When B is a matrix, this solution minimizes the matrix Frobenius norm of the residual. In this case, the columns of X are the solutions to the L corresponding systems AXk=Bk, where Bk is the kth column of B, and Xk is the kth column of X.

X is known as the minimum-norm-residual solution to AX=B. The minimum-norm-residual solution is unique for overdetermined and exactly determined linear systems, but it is not unique for underdetermined linear systems. Thus when the SVD Solver is applied to an underdetermined system, the output X is chosen such that the number of nonzero entries in X is minimized.
