Description
The routine forms the
QR
 factorization of a general
m
-by-
n
 matrix
A
 (see Orthogonal Factorizations). No pivoting is performed. The diagonal entries of
R
 are real and nonnegative.
The routine does not form the matrix
Q
 explicitly. Instead,
Q
 is represented as a product of min(
m
,
n
) elementary reflectors. Routines are provided to work with
Q
 in this representation.
This routine supports the Progress Routine feature. See Progress Function for details.
Input Parameters
matrix_layout
Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (
LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR
) or column major (
LAPACK_COL_MAJOR
).
m
The number of rows in the matrix
A
 (
m
≥
 0
).
n
The number of columns in
A
 (
n
≥
 0
).
a
Array, size max(1,
lda
*
n
) for column major layout and max(1,
lda
*
m
) for row major layout, containing the matrix
A
.
lda
The leading dimension of
a
; at least max(1,
m
)
for column major layout and at least max(1,
n
) for row major layout
.
Output Parameters
a
Overwritten by the factorization data as follows:
The elements on and above the diagonal of the array contain the min(
m
,
n
)-by-
n
 upper trapezoidal matrix
R
 (
R
 is upper triangular if
m
≥
n
); the elements below the diagonal, with the array
tau
, present the orthogonal matrix
Q
 as a product of min(
m
,
n
) elementary reflectors (see Orthogonal Factorizations).
The diagonal elements of the matrix
R
 are real and non-negative.
tau
Array, size at least max (1, min(
m
,
n
)). Contains scalars that define elementary reflectors for the matrix
Q
in its decomposition in a product of elementary reflectors (see Orthogonal Factorizations).
Return Values
This function returns a value
info
.
If
info
=0
, the execution is successful.
If
info
 =
-i
, the
i
-th parameter had an illegal value.
Application Notes
The computed factorization is the exact factorization of a matrix
A
 +
E
, where
||
E
||
2
 =
O
(
ε
)||
A
||
2
.
The approximate number of floating-point operations for real flavors is
(4/3)
n
3
if
m
 =
n
,
(2/3)
n
2
(3
m
-n
)
if
m
 >
n
,
(2/3)
m
2
(3
n
-
m
)
if
m
 <
n
.
The number of operations for complex flavors is 4 times greater.
To solve a set of least squares problems minimizing
||
A*x
 -
b
||
2
 for all columns
b
 of a given matrix
B
, you can call the following:
?geqrfp
 (this routine)
to factorize
A
 =
QR
;
to compute
C
 =
Q
T
*B
 (for real matrices);
to compute
C
 =
Q
H
*B
 (for complex matrices);
trsm (a BLAS routine)
to solve
R*X
 =
C
.
(The columns of the computed
X
 are the least squares solution vectors
x
.)
To compute the elements of
Q
 explicitly, call
