Extended Lanczos Bidiagonalization Algorithm for Low Rank Approximation and its Applications
Number: 301 • Pages: 213-229
We propose an extended Lanczos bidiagonalization algorithm for finding a low rank approximation of a given matrix. We show that this method can yield better low-rank approximations than standard Lanczos bidiagonalization algorithm, without increasing the cost too much. We also describe a partial reorthogonalization process that can be used to maintain an adequate level of orthogonality of the Lanczos vectors in order to produce accurate low-rank approximations. We demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of our algorithm for a number of applications.
