Chapter 7: Q7.4-17E (page 395)
In Exercises 17鈥24, \(A\) is an \(m \times n\) matrix with a singular value decomposition \(A = U\Sigma {V^T}\) , where \(U\) is an \(m \times m\) orthogonal matrix, \({\bf{\Sigma }}\) is an \(m \times n\) 鈥渄iagonal鈥 matrix with \(r\) positive entries and no negative entries, and \(V\) is an \(n \times n\) orthogonal matrix. Justify each answer.
17. Show that if \(A\) is square, then \(\left| {{\bf{det}}A} \right|\) is the product of the singular values of \(A\).
Short Answer
It is verified that if \(A\) is square then \(\left| {\det A} \right|\) is the product of singular values of \(A\).
