Abstract: Let $Sp(n)$ be the symplectic group of quaternionic $(nimesn)$-matrices. For any $1leqkleqn$, an element $A$ of $Sp(n)$ can be decomposed in $$ with $P$ a $(kimesk)$-matrix. In this work, starting from a singular value decomposition of $P$, we obtain what we call a relative singular value decomposition of $A$. This feature is well adapted for the study of the quaternionic Stiefel manifold $X_{n,k}$, and we apply it to the determination of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of $Sp(k)$ in $X_{2k-j,k}$, for $j=0,,1,,2$
