NAG Toolbox: nag_lapack_zgeqrt (f08ap)
Purpose
nag_lapack_zgeqrt (f08ap) recursively computes, with explicit blocking, the factorization of a complex by matrix.
Syntax
[
a,
t,
info] = nag_lapack_zgeqrt(
nb,
a, 'm',
m, 'n',
n)
Description
nag_lapack_zgeqrt (f08ap) forms the factorization of an arbitrary rectangular complex by matrix. No pivoting is performed.
It differs from
nag_lapack_zgeqrf (f08as) in that it: requires an explicit block size; stores reflector factors that are upper triangular matrices of the chosen block size (rather than scalars); and recursively computes the
factorization based on the algorithm of
Elmroth and Gustavson (2000).
If
, the factorization is given by:
where
is an
by
upper triangular matrix (with real diagonal elements) and
is an
by
unitary matrix. It is sometimes more convenient to write the factorization as
which reduces to
where
consists of the first
columns of
, and
the remaining
columns.
If
,
is upper trapezoidal, and the factorization can be written
where
is upper triangular and
is rectangular.
The matrix
is not formed explicitly but is represented as a product of
elementary reflectors (see 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 represents a factorization of the first columns of the original matrix .

To apply
to an arbitrary complex rectangular matrix
,
nag_lapack_zgeqrt (f08ap) may be followed by a call to
nag_lapack_zgemqrt (f08aq). For example,
[t, c, info] = f08aq('Left', 'Conjugate Transpose', nb, a, t, c);
forms
, where
is
by
.
To form the unitary matrix
explicitly, simply initialize the
by
matrix
to the identity matrix and form
using
nag_lapack_zgemqrt (f08aq) as above.
The block size,
nb, used by
nag_lapack_zgeqrt (f08ap) is supplied explicitly through the interface. For moderate and large sizes of matrix, the block size can have a marked effect on the efficiency of the algorithm with the optimal value being dependent on problem size and platform. A value of
is likely to achieve good efficiency and it is unlikely that an optimal value would exceed
.
To compute a
factorization with column pivoting, use
nag_lapack_ztpqrt (f08bp) or
nag_lapack_zgeqpf (f08bs).
The real analogue of this function is
nag_lapack_dgeqrt (f08ab).
