SVD of 2D function

Hi guys,

I am looking how can we define SVD of 2D function f(x+u,y+v)?

Anyone can pls help me to direct to it. thank you

What does 'SVD' stand for?

Singular Value decomposition and I thought it was just for matrices.

Re: SVD of 2D function

Hi Bob and hello to everyone

In my previous post, i posted the first derivative of 2D function f(x+u,y+v) by the taylor series expansion.

This time i want to apply SVD singular value decomposition on 2D function f(x+u, y+v).
But do not have idea how to do it.

Re: SVD of 2D function

hi pari_alf

I'm still not following you. 

When I first read your post I didn't know what SVD was at all I looked up and learnt that it is to do with Matrices.  So I thought it wise to keep quiet and let others help if they can.

But others have the same problem.  Your example doesn't seem to have a matrix connection.

That's why I asked you to "please give an easier example to show what you mean."

You must have something that will show what came before this question.  That will help someone (maybe not me) to see where this work came from.
