Two-sided hyperbolic SVD

AbstractIn this paper, we propose the two-sided hyperbolic SVD (2HSVD) for square matrices, i.e., A=UΣV[∗], where U and V[∗] are J-unitary (J=diag(±1)) and Σ is a real diagonal matrix of “double-hyperbolic” singular values. We show that, with some natural conditions, such decomposition exists without the use of hyperexchange matrices. In other words, U and V[∗] are really J-unitary with regard to J and not some matrix J^ which is permutationally similar to matrix J. We provide full characterization of 2HSVD and completely relate it to the semidefinite J-polar decomposition
