TLDR
In this paper, the singular value decomposition (SVDC) is used to solve ill-conditioned linear systems using the singular values decomposition. But the SVDC can improve the accuracy of the computed solution for certain kinds of right-hand sides.
Abstract
We consider the solution of ill-conditioned linear systems using the singular value decomposition, and show how this can improve the accuracy of the computed solution for certain kinds of right-hand sides Then we indicate how this technique is especially appropriate for some classical ill-posed problems of mathematical physics

Generalized Cross-Validation as a Method for Choosing a Good Ridge Parameter

TL;DR: The generalized cross-validation (GCV) method as discussed by the authors is a generalized version of Allen's PRESS, which can be used in subset selection and singular value truncation, and even to choose from among mixtures of these methods.

Calculating the Singular Values and Pseudo-Inverse of a Matrix

TL;DR: In this article, a numerically stable and fairly fast scheme is described to compute the unitary matrices U and V which transform a given matrix A into a diagonal form π = U^ * AV, thus exhibiting A's singular values on π's diagonal.
