I'm trying to show that the wanted matrix is $R = VU^T$, where $XY^T = UΣV^T$ is the singular value decomposition, but I'm having trouble understanding what it means or how to start.

  • $\begingroup$ What is your norm? Is it any natural norm? Also, RHS is square of Frobenius norm $||RX-Y||_F^2$. Maybe that can be helpful. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Try to differentiate $tr((RX-Y)^\top(RX-Y))$ with respect to $R$. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Snowball it is indeed a Frobenius norm, thanks for reminding me, I just don't understand what I need to do to "minimize" it. $\endgroup$
