Modifying the generalized singular value decomposition with application with application in direction-of-arrival finding

We consider updating and downdating problems for the generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) of matrix pairs when new rows are added to one of the matrices or old rows are deleted. Two classes of algorithms are developed, one based on the CS decomposition formulation of the GSVD and the other based on the generalized eigenvalue decomposition formulation. In both cases we show that the updating and downdating problems can be reduced to a rank-one SVD updating problem. We also provide perturbation analysis for the cases when the added or deleted rows are subject to errors. Numerical experiments on direction-of-arrival (DOA) finding with colored noises are carried out to demonstrate the tracking ability of the algorithms.
