Singular Values & the SVD · Superchallenge problem

Let CC be the 8×88\times 8 matrix with rows and columns numbered 0,1,…,70, 1, \ldots, 7 and entries cjk=cos⁡2πjk8c_{jk} = \cos\dfrac{2\pi jk}{8} (the real part of the 88-point Fourier matrix). Find the sum of its singular values. Give your answer in simplest radical form.
