NAG Toolbox: nag_lapack_dgeqlf (f08ce)
Purpose
nag_lapack_dgeqlf (f08ce) computes a factorization of a real by matrix .
Syntax
Description
nag_lapack_dgeqlf (f08ce) forms the factorization of an arbitrary rectangular real by matrix.
If
, the factorization is given by:
where
is an
by
lower triangular matrix and
is an
by
orthogonal matrix. If
the factorization is given by
where
is an
by
lower trapezoidal matrix and
is again an
by
orthogonal matrix. In the case where
the factorization can be expressed as
where
consists of the first
columns of
, and
the remaining
columns.
The matrix
is not formed explicitly but is represented as a product of
elementary reflectors (see
Representation of orthogonal or unitary matrices in the F08 Chapter Introduction for details). Functions are provided to work with
in this representation (see
Further Comments).
Note also that for any
, the information returned in the last
columns of the array
a represents a
factorization of the last
columns of the original matrix
.

Error Indicators and Warnings
-
If , parameter had an illegal value on entry. The parameters are numbered as follows:
1:
m, 2:
n, 3:
a, 4:
lda, 5:
tau, 6:

info.
It is possible that
info refers to a parameter that is omitted from the MATLAB interface. This usually indicates that an error in one of the other input parameters has caused an incorrect value to be inferred.
Accuracy
The computed factorization is the exact factorization of a nearby matrix
, where
and
is the
machine precision.
Further Comments
The total number of floating-point operations is approximately if or if .
To form the orthogonal matrix
nag_lapack_dgeqlf (f08ce) may be followed by a call to
nag_lapack_dorgql (f08cf):
[a, info] = f08cf(a(:,1:m), tau);
but note that the second dimension of the array
a must be at least
m, which may be larger than was required by
nag_lapack_dgeqlf (f08ce).
When
, it is often only the first
columns of
that are required, and they may be formed by the call:
[a, info] = f08cf(a, tau);
To apply
to an arbitrary real rectangular matrix
,
nag_lapack_dgeqlf (f08ce) may be followed by a call to
nag_lapack_dormql (f08cg). For example,
[c, info] = f08cg('Left','Transpose', a(:,1:min(m,n)), tau, c);
forms
, where
is
by
.
The complex analogue of this function is
nag_lapack_zgeqlf (f08cs).
Example
This example solves the linear least squares problems
for
and
, where
is the
th column of the matrix
,
The solution is obtained by first obtaining a factorization of the matrix .
Note that the block size (NB) of assumed in this example is not realistic for such a small problem, but should be suitable for large problems.
