Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the singular values of a matrix formed by augmenting a real mxn matrix A with the identity matrix I_n. The original poster seeks to understand how the singular values of the combined matrix relate to those of A.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to relate the singular values of the augmented matrix to those of A, expressing uncertainty about how to derive the relationship involving the square root of the sum of squares.

Discussion Status

Some participants provide feedback on formatting issues related to typesetting mathematical expressions, while the original poster continues to seek clarity on the singular value relationship without reaching a definitive conclusion.

Contextual Notes

The original poster indicates a lack of understanding of the underlying concepts and expresses a desire for guidance on the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the augmented matrix.

Homework Statement


Let A be a real mxn matrix, m>=n, with singular values \sigmaj.Show that the singular values of (\stackrel{I_{n}}{A}) are equal to \sqrt{1+\sigma_j^2}.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I know that an SVD for A is A = U(\stackrel{\Sigma}{0})v^T and so, the singular values of A are \sigma_j. I have no idea how to break this down. I assume I want to look at an SVD for (\stackrel{I_n}{A}), but I don't know how to figure out that the singular values would be \sqrt{1+\sigma_j^2}. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much.

Also, sorry, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to have it typeset correctly to show you guys what's going on.
 
Don't use the html tags and inside LaTex. Use _ for subscripts and ^ for superscripts.
 
Oh wow, thank you so much. It looks great.
