NAG CL Interface
f08afc (dorgqr)

1 Purpose

f08afc generates all or part of the real orthogonal matrix Q from a QR factorization computed by f08aec, f08bec or f08bfc.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f08afc (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, Integer k, double a[], Integer pda, const double tau[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f08afc, nag_lapackeig_dorgqr or nag_dorgqr.

3 Description

f08afc is intended to be used after a call to f08aec, f08bec or f08bfc. which perform a QR factorization of a real matrix A. The orthogonal 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_lapackeig_dorgqr(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_lapackeig_dorgqr(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 f08aec followed by f08afc 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 orthogonal matrix arising from this factorization can be computed by:
nag_lapackeig_dorgqr(order,m,m,k,a,pda,tau,&fail)
or its leading k columns by:
nag_lapackeig_dorgqr(order,m,k,k,a,pda,tau,&fail)

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 or Nag_ColMajor.
2: m Integer Input
On entry: m, the order of the orthogonal matrix Q.
Constraint: m0.
3: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the number of columns of the matrix Q.
Constraint: mn0.
4: k Integer Input
On entry: k, the number of elementary reflectors whose product defines the matrix Q.
Constraint: nk0.
5: a[dim] double Input/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 f08aec, f08bec or f08bfc.
On exit: the m by n matrix Q.
6: 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, pdamax1,m;

7: tau[dim] const double Input
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 f08aec, f08bec or f08bfc.

7 Accuracy

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

8 Parallelism and Performance

f08afc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08afc 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 4mnk-2 m+n k2 + 43 k3 ; when n=k, the number is approximately 23 n2 3m-n .
The complex analogue of this function is f08atc.

10 Example

This example forms the leading 4 columns of the orthogonal matrix Q from the QR factorization of the matrix A, where
A = -0.57 -1.28 -0.39 0.25 -1.93 1.08 -0.31 -2.14 2.30 0.24 0.40 -0.35 -1.93 0.64 -0.66 0.08 0.15 0.30 0.15 -2.13 -0.02 1.03 -1.43 0.50 .  
The columns of Q form an orthonormal basis for the space spanned by the columns of A.
