1 Purpose

nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc) computes the

Q R

factorization, with column pivoting, of a complex

m

n

matrix.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagf08.h>

void	nag_zgeqp3 (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer pda, Integer jpvt[], Complex tau[], NagError *fail)

3 Description

nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc) forms the

Q R

factorization, with column pivoting, of an arbitrary rectangular complex

m

n

matrix.

m \geq n

, the factorization is given by:

A P = Q (\begin{array}{r} R \\ 0 \end{array}),

where

R

is an

n

n

upper triangular matrix (with real diagonal elements),

Q

is an

m

m

unitary matrix and

P

is an

n

n

permutation matrix. It is sometimes more convenient to write the factorization as

A P = (\begin{array}{r} Q_{1} & Q_{2} \end{array}) (\begin{array}{r} R \\ 0 \end{array}),

which reduces to

A P = Q_{1} R,

where

Q_{1}

consists of the first

n

columns of

Q

, and

Q_{2}

the remaining

m - n

columns.

m < n

R

is trapezoidal, and the factorization can be written

A P = Q (\begin{array}{r} R_{1} & R_{2} \end{array}),

where

R_{1}

is upper triangular and

R_{2}

is rectangular.

The matrix

Q

is not formed explicitly but is represented as a product of

\min (m, n)

elementary reflectors (see the f08 Chapter Introduction for details). Functions are provided to work with

Q

in this representation (see Section 9).

Note also that for any

k < n

, the information returned in the first

k

columns of the array a represents a

Q R

factorization of the first

k

columns of the permuted matrix

A P

The function allows specified columns of

A

to be moved to the leading columns of

A P

at the start of the factorization and fixed there. The remaining columns are free to be interchanged so that at the

i

th stage the pivot column is chosen to be the column which maximizes the

2

-norm of elements

i

m

over columns

i

n

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_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

Nag_ColMajor

2: $m$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

Constraint:

m \geq 0

3: $n$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $a [\dim]$ – ComplexInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least

$\max (1, pda \times n)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, m \times pda)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

The

(i, j)

th element of the matrix

A

is stored in

$a [(j - 1) \times pda + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$a [(i - 1) \times pda + j - 1]$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

On entry: the

m

n

matrix

A

On exit: if

m \geq n

, the elements below the diagonal are overwritten by details of the unitary matrix

Q

and the upper triangle is overwritten by the corresponding elements of the

n

n

upper triangular matrix

R

m < n

, the strictly lower triangular part is overwritten by details of the unitary matrix

Q

and the remaining elements are overwritten by the corresponding elements of the

m

n

upper trapezoidal matrix

R

The diagonal elements of

R

are real.

5: $pda$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.

Constraints:

if $order = Nag_ColMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, m)$ ;
if $order = Nag_RowMajor$ , $pda \geq \max (1, n)$ .

6: $jpvt [\dim]$ – IntegerInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array jpvt must be at least

\max (1, n)

On entry: if

jpvt [j - 1] \neq 0

, then the

j

th column of

A

is moved to the beginning of

A P

before the decomposition is computed and is fixed in place during the computation. Otherwise, the

j

th column of

A

is a free column (i.e., one which may be interchanged during the computation with any other free column).

On exit: details of the permutation matrix

P

. More precisely, if

jpvt [j - 1] = k

, then the

k

th column of

A

is moved to become the

j

th column of

A P

; in other words, the columns of

A P

are the columns of

A

in the order

jpvt [0], jpvt [1], \dots, jpvt [n - 1]

7: $tau [\dim]$ – ComplexOutput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array tau must be at least

\max (1, \min (m, n))

On exit: further details of the unitary matrix

Q

8: $fail$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

7 Accuracy

The computed factorization is the exact factorization of a nearby matrix

(A + E)

, where

{‖E‖}_{2} = O (ε) {‖A‖}_{2},

and

ε

is the machine precision.

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc) 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 X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also 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

\frac{8}{3} n^{2} (3 m - n)

m \geq n

\frac{8}{3} m^{2} (3 n - m)

m < n

To form the unitary matrix

Q

nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc) may be followed by a call to nag_zungqr (f08atc):

nag_zungqr(order,m,m,MIN(m,n),&a,pda,tau,&fail)

but note that the second dimension of the array a must be at least m, which may be larger than was required by nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc).

When

m \geq n

, it is often only the first

n

columns of

Q

that are required, and they may be formed by the call:

nag_zungqr(order,m,n,n,&a,pda,tau,&fail)

To apply

Q

to an arbitrary complex rectangular matrix

C

, nag_zgeqp3 (f08btc) may be followed by a call to nag_zunmqr (f08auc). For example,

nag_zunmqr(order,Nag_LeftSide,Nag_ConjTrans,m,p,MIN(m,n),&a,pda,
  tau,&c,pdc,&fail)

forms

C = Q^{H} C

, where

C

p

To compute a

Q R

factorization without column pivoting, use nag_zgeqrf (f08asc).

The real analogue of this function is nag_dgeqp3 (f08bfc).
