Optimal orthonormalization of the strapdown matrix by using singular value decomposition. (English) Zbl 0606.65027

The mathematical problem considered in this paper is computing for a given real quadratic matrix A the nearest orthonormal matrix with respect to the Frobenius norm. The well-known fact that this matrix is given by \(UV^ T\), where \(A=U\Sigma V^ T\) is the singular value decomposition (SVD) of A is rediscovered and the computation of \(UV^ T\) via the usual SVD computation is proposed as a solution to the problem. An application and numerical experiments are given.
