Matrix Decomposition

Eigen Decomposition

Eigendecomposition is a way of breaking/decomposing matrix into smaller matrices (analogus to prime factorization).

*Eigen Vector is a non-zero vector v, which upon being multiplied by matrix A, alters only the scale of v.

Below figure shows before and after multiplying eigen vector with eigen value :

  • Matrix whose all eigen values are -
    • positive is called positive definite
    • positive or zero-valued is called positive semi-definite
    • negative is called negative definite
    • negative or zero-valued is called negative semi-definite

Single Value Decomposition

SVD factorizes matrix into singular values and singular vectors. In SVD, matrix A can be decomposed as follows -

Properties -

  • A - (m, n) matrix
  • U - (m, m) orthogonal matrix, columns of U are called left-singular vectors
  • D - (m, n) diagnol matrix, not necessarily square, elements along diagnol D are called singular values of A
  • V - (n, n) orthogonal matrix, columns of V are called right-singular vectors

Moore-Penrose Pseudoinverse

Usually matrix inversion is not possible for non-square matrices. To solve below linear equation, in case A is non-square matrix , we use Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse formula to find solution to x -


Here, U, D, V are SVD of A.

Pseudo-inverse of D is obtained by -

  • take reciprocal of non-zero elements
  • take transpose of resultant matrix

Trace Operator

  • Gives sum of diagnol enetries of matrix.

  • Frobenius norm can be re-written in terms of Trace operator as follows -
