f08bec computes the factorization, with column pivoting, of a real matrix. f08bec is marked as deprecated by LAPACK; the replacement routine is f08bfc which makes better use of Level 3 BLAS.
The function may be called by the names: f08bec, nag_lapackeig_dgeqpf or nag_dgeqpf.
3Description
f08bec forms the factorization, with column pivoting, of an arbitrary rectangular real matrix.
If , the factorization is given by:
where is an upper triangular matrix, is an orthogonal matrix and is an permutation 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 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 Section 9).
Note also that for any , the information returned in the first columns of the array a represents a factorization of the first columns of the permuted matrix .
The function allows specified columns of to be moved to the leading columns of at the start of the factorization and fixed there. The remaining columns are free to be interchanged so that at the th stage the pivot column is chosen to be the column which maximizes the -norm of elements to over columns to .
