Is it no longer possible to calculate SVD in sage?

I recently noticed that the property .SVD() is no longer available for matrices defined over the RDF ring.

Is it no longer possible to calculate singular value decomposition in sage?

For me, m = matrix(RDF,4,range(1,17)); m.SVD() works in the latest Sage. Can you provide more details? What version of Sage, what is not working for you, etc.?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, your mwe works.

I think my issue is that my matrix was originally defined as a "sparse" matrix over RDF and therefore I guess does not have the SVD method. Running A=matrix(RDF, A.nrows(), A.ncols(), A._list()) fixes the issue. Thanks!

That makes sense. I think you could also do A.dense_matrix().SVD().
