1  Purpose

nag_zungqr (f08atc) generates all or part of the complex unitary matrix Q from a QR factorization computed by nag_zgeqrf (f08asc)nag_zgeqpf (f08bsc) or nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc).

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf08.h>
void  nag_zungqr (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, Integer k, Complex a[], Integer pda, const Complex tau[], NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_zungqr (f08atc) is intended to be used after a call to nag_zgeqrf (f08asc)nag_zgeqpf (f08bsc) or nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc), which perform a QR factorization of a complex matrix A. The unitary matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors.
This function may be used to generate Q explicitly as a square matrix, or to form only its leading columns.
Usually Q is determined from the QR factorization of an m by p matrix A with mp. The whole of Q may be computed by:
nag_zungqr(order,m,m,p,&a,pda,tau,&fail)
(note that the array a must have at least m columns) or its leading p columns by:
nag_zungqr(order,m,p,p,&a,pda,tau,&fail)
The columns of Q returned by the last call form an orthonormal basis for the space spanned by the columns of A; thus nag_zgeqrf (f08asc) followed by nag_zungqr (f08atc) can be used to orthogonalize the columns of A.
The information returned by the QR factorization functions also yields the QR factorization of the leading k columns of A, where k<p. The unitary matrix arising from this factorization can be computed by:
nag_zungqr(order,m,m,k,&a,pda,tau,&fail)
or its leading k columns by:
nag_zungqr(order,m,k,k,&a,pda,tau,&fail)

5  Arguments

1:     orderNag_OrderTypeInput
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by order=Nag_RowMajor. See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2:     mIntegerInput
On entry: m, the order of the unitary matrix Q.
Constraint: m0.
3:     nIntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of columns of the matrix Q.
Constraint: mn0.
4:     kIntegerInput
On entry: k, the number of elementary reflectors whose product defines the matrix Q.
Constraint: nk0.
5:     a[dim]ComplexInput/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least
  • max1,pda×n when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,m×pda when order=Nag_RowMajor.
On entry: details of the vectors which define the elementary reflectors, as returned by nag_zgeqrf (f08asc)nag_zgeqpf (f08bsc) or nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc).
On exit: the m by n matrix Q.
If order=Nag_ColMajor, the i,jth element of the matrix is stored in a[j-1×pda+i-1].
If order=Nag_RowMajor, the i,jth element of the matrix is stored in a[i-1×pda+j-1].
6:     pdaIntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.
Constraints:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor, pdamax1,m;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor, pdamax1,n.
7:     tau[dim]const ComplexInput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array tau must be at least max1,k.
On entry: further details of the elementary reflectors, as returned by nag_zgeqrf (f08asc)nag_zgeqpf (f08bsc) or nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc).
8:     failNagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.

7  Accuracy

The computed matrix Q differs from an exactly unitary matrix by a matrix E such that
E2 = Oε ,
where ε is the machine precision.

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_zungqr (f08atc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_zungqr (f08atc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9  Further Comments

The total number of real floating-point operations is approximately 16mnk-8 m+n k2 + 163 k3 ; when n=k, the number is approximately 83 n2 3m-n .
The real analogue of this function is nag_dorgqr (f08afc).

10  Example

This example forms the leading 4 columns of the unitary matrix Q from the QR factorization of the matrix A, where
A = 0.96-0.81i -0.03+0.96i -0.91+2.06i -0.05+0.41i -0.98+1.98i -1.20+0.19i -0.66+0.42i -0.81+0.56i 0.62-0.46i 1.01+0.02i 0.63-0.17i -1.11+0.60i -0.37+0.38i 0.19-0.54i -0.98-0.36i 0.22-0.20i 0.83+0.51i 0.20+0.01i -0.17-0.46i 1.47+1.59i 1.08-0.28i 0.20-0.12i -0.07+1.23i 0.26+0.26i .
The columns of Q form an orthonormal basis for the space spanned by the columns of A.
