This paper advances the theoretical foundations of singular value decomposition (SVD) by deriving exact error expressions and all-order series expansions for null-space estimation in noisy matrices. It introduces rigorous convergence criteria based on complex exceptional points and provides sixth-order risk corrections that improve generalization estimates across varying noise levels. These mathematical refinements offer critical insights for improving the stability and accuracy of algorithms relying on spectral decomposition in machine learning applications.
Compact and Infinite-Order Error Analysis for Null-Space SVD Estimation
arXiv:2608.30374v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study null-space estimation from a noisy matrix. For a simple left null space, we first derive an exact compact expression for the error of the smallest left singular vector. We then give an all-order series for the SVD vector and projector, followed by compact and consistently truncated series forms for the fixed-realization empirical risk and conditional population generalization risk. The recursion extends to a multiple-dimensional null space by following the complete invariant subspace. The convergence radius is not inferred from an error plot: it is computed independently from the nearest complex exceptional point that joins a retained eigenvalue branch to its complement. A reduced-nullity experiment shows that moving this spectral boundary can increase the radius, although the improvement is not monotone in the retained nullity. For individually ordered null directions under Gaussian training with \(\tau\geq m\), we prove that the Wishart splitting matrix \(W\) gives a strict second-order empirical ranking. Gaussian averaging equalizes the leading generalization risks at both small and very large noise, while a column-swap theorem proves strict expected generalization ranking for an isotropic signal subspace. For unequal spikes, an exact population-overlap criterion and a simultaneous \(99\%\) Monte Carlo confidence certificate explain the observed intermediate ranking. A sixth-order risk correction improves the lower-crossover estimate in the reported experiment. This equal--ranked--equal phenomenon is a finite-sample diagnostic related to spectral mixing, but its tolerance crossings, the exceptional-point radius, and the asymptotic BBP threshold are three distinct quantities.
