Thanks Robert! I was using mlab's svd function, which returns an mxn matrix for u, and hence was unable to see how to compute the orthogonal complement! I realize that numpy's svd gives the mxm matrix! Thanks again. -Smriti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi Robert! Oh! Its not a homework problem... I read the Golub book, it tells me what an orthogonal complement is, however, I cannot understand how I can code it. I know about svd from numpy's mlab, but I what I want to know is how can I compute an orthogonal complement, using SVD or otherwise. Than

Hi! I have been trying to figure this out, and need help... How do I compute an orthogonal complement of a matrix using SVD? Is there a python lib function or code that does this? Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
