Singular Values of a Matrix

Singular values can be used to extend bode analysis to the singular value bode plots for MIMO systems.[^1] The singular value of matrix \(A\) is the non negative eigenvalue of \(A^HA\) where \(H\) is the complex conjugate of the transpose of \(A\).[^1]
Singular values are ordered in \(\sigma_1\geq\sigma_2\geq …\geq\sigma_n\)n

If the matrix is complex the singular values are the non-negative roots of the eigenvalues of \(A^HA\).[^1] The greatest singular value is the maximum gain of the matrix over all possible directions of the vector x.[^1] The band between minimum and maximum singular values as a function of frequency shows the degree of disturbance rejection, stability, and performance, as a gain with respect to frequency.[^1] Noise suppression at lower frequencies give a smaller sensitivity to measurement noise.
