Fastest way to compute spectral norm of a matrix?

35 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello
I can't find any mention of the spectral norm in the documentation. I want to calculate
max(|Ax|)/x for any vector x, given a matrix A.
There's a method via the eigenvalues of A'A but that sounds very memory intensive, I was wondering if anyone knows a faster in-built option.
Thanks
Mike

See the NORM command. It accepts matrix inputs.

Yes. Try it:
>> A=rand(5);
>> max(sqrt(eig(A.'*A)))
ans =
2.2584
>> norm(A)
ans =
2.2584

Hmmm. Looks like NORM is not as fast as the direct calculation,
A=rand(1000);
tic;
n1=sqrt( max( eig(A.'*A) ) );
toc; %Elapsed time is 0.150860 seconds.
tic;
n2=norm(A);
toc; %Elapsed time is 0.319899 seconds.
However, I'm pretty sure it's because NORM uses SVD instead of EIG, which is probably more numerically stable.
