1 Purpose

f08aec computes the

Q R

factorization of a real

m

n

matrix.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

void	f08aec (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, double a[], Integer pda, double tau[], NagError *fail)

The function may be called by the names: f08aec, nag_lapackeig_dgeqrf or nag_dgeqrf.

3 Description

f08aec forms the

Q R

factorization of an arbitrary rectangular real

m

n

matrix. No pivoting is performed.

m \geq n

, the factorization is given by:

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

where

R

is an

n

n

upper triangular matrix and

Q

is an

m

m

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

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

which reduces to

A = 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 = 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 original matrix

A

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderType Input

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 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $m$ – Integer Input

On entry:

m

, the number of rows of the matrix

A

Constraint:

m \geq 0

3: $n$ – Integer Input

On entry:

n

, the number of columns of the matrix

A

Constraint:

n \geq 0

4: $a [\dim]$ – double Input/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 orthogonal 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 orthogonal matrix

Q

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

m

n

upper trapezoidal matrix

R

5: $pda$ – Integer Input

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: $tau [\dim]$ – double Output

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

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

On exit: further details of the orthogonal matrix

Q

7: $fail$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM: On entry, argument $〈value〉$ had an illegal value.
NE_INT: On entry, $m = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $m \geq 0$ .

On entry, $n = 〈value〉$ .

On entry, $pda = 〈value〉$ and $n = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $pda \geq \max (1, n)$ .
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.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_NO_LICENCE: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

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

f08aec is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

f08aec 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 floating-point operations is approximately

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

m \geq n

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

m < n

To form the orthogonal matrix

Q

f08aec may be followed by a call to f08afc:

nag_lapackeig_dorgqr(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 f08aec.

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

To apply

Q

to an arbitrary real rectangular matrix

C

, f08aec may be followed by a call to f08agc. For example,

nag_lapackeig_dormqr(order,Nag_LeftSide,Nag_Trans,m,p,MIN(m,n),&a,pda,tau,
+ &c,pdc,&fail)

forms

C = Q^{T} C

, where

C

m

p

To compute a

Q R

factorization with column pivoting, use f08bbc or f08bec.

The complex analogue of this function is f08asc.
