A Kogbetliantz-type algorithm for the hyperbolic SVD

In this paper a two-sided, parallel Kogbetliantz-type algorithm for the hyperbolic singular value decomposition (HSVD) of real and complex square matrices is developed, with a single assumption that the input matrix, of order $n$, admits such a decomposition into the product of a unitary, a non-negative diagonal, and a $J$-unitary matrix, where $J$ is a given diagonal matrix of positive and negative signs. When $J=\pm I$, the proposed algorithm computes the ordinary SVD. The paper's most important contribution -- a derivation of formulas for the HSVD of $2\times 2$ matrices -- is presented first, followed by the details of their implementation in floating-point arithmetic. Next, the effects of the hyperbolic transformations on the columns of the iteration matrix are discussed. These effects then guide a redesign of the dynamic pivot ordering, being already a well-established pivot strategy for the ordinary Kogbetliantz algorithm, for the general, $n\times n$ HSVD. A heuristic but sound convergence criterion is then proposed, which contributes to high accuracy demonstrated in the numerical testing results. Such a $J$-Kogbetliantz algorithm as presented here is intrinsically slow, but is nevertheless usable for matrices of small orders.
