1  Purpose

nag_dormqr (f08agc) multiplies an arbitrary real matrix C by the real orthogonal matrix Q from a QR factorization computed by nag_dgeqrf (f08aec), nag_dgeqpf (f08bec) or nag_dgeqp3 (f08bfc).

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagf08.h>
void  nag_dormqr (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_SideType side, Nag_TransType trans, Integer m, Integer n, Integer k, const double a[], Integer pda, const double tau[], double c[], Integer pdc, NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_dormqr (f08agc) is intended to be used after a call to nag_dgeqrf (f08aec), nag_dgeqpf (f08bec) or nag_dgeqp3 (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 form one of the matrix products
QC , QTC , CQ ​ or ​ CQT ,  
overwriting the result on c (which may be any real rectangular matrix).
A common application of this function is in solving linear least squares problems, as described in the f08 Chapter Introduction and illustrated in Section 10 in nag_dgeqrf (f08aec).

Q or QT is applied to C from the right.
Constraint: side=Nag_LeftSide or Nag_RightSide.
3:     trans Nag_TransTypeInput
On entry: indicates whether Q or QT is to be applied to C.

Q is applied to C.
trans=Nag_Trans
QT is applied to C.

7  Accuracy

The computed result differs from the exact result by a matrix E such that
E2 = Oε C2 ,  
where ε is the machine precision.

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_dormqr (f08agc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_dormqr (f08agc) 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.
