Very large matrices with rapidly decaying singular values commonly arise in the numerical solution of ill-posed problems. The singular value decomposition (SVD) is a basic tool for both the analysis and computation of solutions to such problems. In most applications, it suffices to obtain a partial SVD consisting of only the largest singular values and their corresponding singular vectors. In this paper, two separate approaches -- one based on subspace iteration and the other based on the Lanczos method -- are considered for the efficient iterative computation of partial SVDs. In the context of ill-posed problems, an analytical and numerical comparison of these two methods is made and the role of the regularization operator in convergence acceleration is explored.
