svt function for MATLAB

svt is a MATLAB wrapper function for singular value thresholding.

The function is developed by Cai Li and Hua Zhou.

Compatibility

The code is tested on MATLAB R2013a, but should work on other versions of MATLAB with no or little changes. Current version works on these platforms: Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, Linux 64-bit, and Mac (Intel 64-bit). Type computer in MATLAB's command window to determine the platform.
