odd behaviour of thin svd?

[Paul Soderlind]

Hi all,

I just tried svd([1 2],0) in Octave-2.1.34 (Windows NT, CygWin). It seems as
the result is transposed. Is this to be expected, or is it a buglet?



(1) The standard form:  [u,s,v]=svd([1 2]), u*s*v'

u = 1
s =
  2.23607  0.00000
v =
   0.44721  -0.89443
   0.89443   0.44721
ans =
  1.00000  2.00000


(2) The thin form: [u,s,v]=svd([1 2],1), u*s*v'

u = 1
s = 2.2361
v =
  0.44721  0.89443
ans =
  1.00000
  2.00000



Thanks for any help
