# SVDComputeError

Computes the error (based on the residual norm) associated with the `i`-th singular triplet.

## Synopsis

    #include "slepcsvd.h"
    PetscErrorCode SVDComputeError(SVD svd,PetscInt i,SVDErrorType type,PetscReal *error)

Collective

## Input Parameters

- svd - the singular value solver context

- i - the solution index

- type - the type of error to compute, see `SVDErrorType`

## Output Parameter

- error - the error

## Notes

The error can be computed in various ways, all of them based on the residual norm obtained as \(\sqrt{\eta_1^2+\eta_2^2}\) with \(\eta_1 = \|Av-\sigma u\|_2\) and \(\eta_2 = \|A^*u-\sigma v\|_2\), where \((\sigma,u,v)\) is the approximate singular triplet.

In the case of the GSVD, the two components of the residual norm are \(\eta_1 = \|s^2 A^*u-cB^*Bx\|_2\) and \(\eta_2 = ||c^2 B^*v-sA^*Ax||_2\), where \((\sigma,u,v,x)\) is the approximate generalized singular quadruple, with \(\sigma=c/s\).
