In Section 6.4, we characterized normal operators on complex spaces and self-adjoint operators on real spaces in terms of orthonormal bases of eigenvectors and their corresponding eigenvalues (Theorems 6.16, p. 369, and 6.17, p. 371). In this section, we establish a comparable theorem whose scope is the entire class of linear transformations on both complex and real finite-dimensional inner product spaces—the singular value theorem for linear transformations (Theorem 6.26). There are similarities and differences among these theorems. All rely on the use of orthonormal bases and numerical invariants. However, because of its general scope, the singular value theorem is concerned with two ...
