Polar decomposition


In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra and functional analysis, the polar decomposition of a matrix or linear operator is a factorization analogous to the polar form of a nonzero complex number z as where r is the absolute value of z (a positive real number), and is an element of the circle group.

The polar decomposition of a square complex matrix A is a matrix decomposition of the form
