The function may be called by the names: f08chc, nag_lapackeig_dgerqf or nag_dgerqf.
3Description
f08chc forms the factorization of an arbitrary rectangular real matrix. If , the factorization is given by
where is an lower triangular matrix and is an orthogonal matrix. If the factorization is given by
where is an upper trapezoidal matrix and is again an orthogonal matrix. In the case where the factorization can be expressed as
where consists of the first rows of and the remaining rows.
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).

8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f08chc 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.
9Further Comments
The total number of floating-point operations is approximately if , or if .
To form the orthogonal matrix f08chc may be followed by a call to f08cjc
:
nag_lapackeig_dorgrq(order, n, n, minmn, a, pda, tau, &fail)
where ,
but note that the first dimension of the array a must be at least n, which may be larger than was required by f08chc. When , it is often only the first rows of that are required and they may be formed
by the call:
nag_lapackeig_dorgrq(order, m, n, m, a, pda, tau, c, pdc, &fail)
To apply to an arbitrary real rectangular matrix , f08chc may be followed by a call to f08ckc
. For example:
nag_lapackeig_dormrq(Nag_LeftSide, Nag_Trans, n, p, minmn, a, pda, tau, c, pdc, &fail)
