Let u be a unit vector in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), and let \(B = {\bf{u}}{{\bf{u}}^T}\).
Question: Repeat Exercise 15 for the following SVD of a \({\bf{3 \times 4}}\) matrix \(A\):
\(A{\bf{ = }}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{.86}}}&{ - {\bf{.11}}}&{ - {\bf{.50}}}\\{{\bf{.31}}}&{{\bf{.68}}}&{ - {\bf{.67}}}\\{{\bf{.41}}}&{ - {\bf{.73}}}&{ - {\bf{5}}{\bf{.5}}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\bf{12}}{\bf{.48}}}&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{0}}&{{\bf{6}}{\bf{.34}}}&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}\end{array}} \right){\bf{ \times }}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\bf{.66}}}&{ - {\bf{.03}}}&{ - {\bf{.35}}}&{{\bf{.66}}}\\{ - {\bf{1}}{\bf{.3}}}&{ - {\bf{.90}}}&{ - {\bf{.39}}}&{ - {\bf{.13}}}\\{{\bf{.65}}}&{{\bf{.08}}}&{ - {\bf{.16}}}&{ - {\bf{.73}}}\\{ - {\bf{.34}}}&{{\bf{.42}}}&{ - {\bf{8}}{\bf{.4}}}&{ - {\bf{0}}{\bf{.8}}}\end{array}} \right)\)
Classify the quadratic forms in Exercises 9–18. Then make a change of variable, \({\bf{x}} = P{\bf{y}}\), that transforms the quadratic form into one with no cross-product term. Write the new quadratic form. Construct \(P\) using the methods of Section 7.1.
13. \({\bf{ - }}x_{\bf{1}}^{\bf{2}}{\bf{ - 6}}{x_{\bf{1}}}{x_{\bf{2}}} + {\bf{9}}x_{\bf{2}}^{\bf{2}}\)
Question: 12. Exercises 12–14 concern an \(m \times n\) matrix \(A\) with a reduced singular value decomposition, \(A = {U_r}D{V_r}^T\), and the pseudoinverse \({A^ + } = {U_r}{D^{ - 1}}{V_r}^T\).
Verify the properties of\({A^ + }\):
a. For each\({\rm{y}}\)in\({\mathbb{R}^m}\),\(A{A^ + }{\rm{y}}\)is the orthogonal projection of\({\rm{y}}\)onto\({\rm{Col}}\,A\).
b. For each\({\rm{x}}\)in\({\mathbb{R}^n}\),\({A^ + }A{\rm{x}}\)is the orthogonal projection of\({\rm{x}}\)onto\({\rm{Row}}\,A\).
c. \(A{A^ + }A = A\)and \({A^ + }A{A^ + } = {A^ + }\).
Question: If A is \(m \times n\), then the matrix \(G = {A^T}A\) is called the Gram matrix of A. In this case, the entries of G are the inner products of the columns of A. (See Exercises 9 and 10).
9. Show that the Gram matrix of any matrix A is positive semidefinite, with the same rank as A. (See the Exercises in Section 6.5.)
