Describe SVD of a Block Matriox by the SVD of Its Blocks

179 Views Asked by At

Given a Block Matrix $ A \in \mathbb{R}^{\left( m + n \right) \times \left( m + n \right)} $:

$$ A = \begin{bmatrix} B & C \\ D & E \end{bmatrix} $$

Where $ B, E \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times m} $ and $ C, D \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n} $

Let the SVD of $ A $ be given by $ A = U S {V}^{T} $.

Could one express the SVD of $ A $ by the SVD's of the Blocks? Namely by the SVD of $ B, C, D, E $?
