Singular Values & the SVD · Superchallenge problem

Let LL be the 10×1010\times 10 lower-triangular matrix of ones (ℓij=1\ell_{ij} = 1 for j≤ij \le i, else 00), with singular values σ1,…,σ10\sigma_1, \ldots, \sigma_{10}. Compute ∑k=110(σk2+1σk2)\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{10}\left(\sigma_k^2 + \frac{1}{\sigma_k^2}\right).
