[net.sources] singular value decomposition algorithm

kent@unc.UUCP (Doug Kent ) (07/10/86)

Can anyone send me or point me towards public domain source code for a 
singular value decomposition algorithm?

I'd be much obliged...

There are algorithms readily available in LINPACK and TOMS 581.
They are available for a small distribution charge from IMSL, though
you should be able to find someone else who has them already.   The
algorithm in TOMS is the more efficient.
