f08akf (dormlq)

1
Purpose

f08akf (dormlq) multiplies an arbitrary real matrix C by the real orthogonal matrix Q from an LQ factorization computed by f08ahf (dgelqf).

C Header Interface
#include <nagmk26.h>
void  f08akf_ (const char *side, const char *trans, const Integer *m, const Integer *n, const Integer *k, double a[], const Integer *lda, const double tau[], double c[], const Integer *ldc, double work[], const Integer *lwork, Integer *info, const Charlen length_side, const Charlen length_trans)

Description

f08akf (dormlq) is intended to be used after a call to f08ahf (dgelqf), which performs an LQ factorization of a real matrix A. The orthogonal matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors.
This routine 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).

Arguments

1:     side – Character(1)Input
On entry: indicates how Q or QT is to be applied to C.
side='L'
Q or QT is applied to C from the left.
side='R'
Q or QT is applied to C from the right.
Constraint: side='L' or 'R'.
2:     trans – Character(1)Input
On entry: indicates whether Q or QT is to be applied to C.
trans='N'
Q is applied to C.
trans='T'
QT is applied to C.
Constraint: trans='N' or 'T'.
3:     m – IntegerInput
On entry: m, the number of rows of the matrix C.
Constraint: m0.
4:     n – IntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of columns of the matrix C.
Constraint: n0.
5:     k – IntegerInput
On entry: k, the number of elementary reflectors whose product defines the matrix Q.
Constraints:
  • if side='L', m k 0 ;
  • if side='R', n k 0 .
6:     alda* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least max1,m if side='L' and at least max1,n if side='R'.
On entry: details of the vectors which define the elementary reflectors, as returned by f08ahf (dgelqf).
7:     lda – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f08akf (dormlq) is called.
Constraint: ldamax1,k.
8:     tau* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the dimension of the array tau must be at least max1,k.
On entry: further details of the elementary reflectors, as returned by f08ahf (dgelqf).
9:     cldc* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array c must be at least max1,n.
On entry: the m by n matrix C.
On exit: c is overwritten by QC or QTC or CQ or CQT as specified by side and trans.
10:   ldc – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array c as declared in the (sub)program from which f08akf (dormlq) is called.
Constraint: ldcmax1,m.
11:   workmax1,lwork – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
On exit: if info=0, work1 contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimal performance.
12:   lwork – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08akf (dormlq) is called.
If lwork=-1, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the work array, returns this value as the first entry of the work array, and no error message related to lwork is issued.
Suggested value: for optimal performance, lworkn×nb if side='L' and at least m×nb if side='R', where nb is the optimal block size.
Constraints:
  • if side='L', lworkmax1,n or lwork=-1;
  • if side='R', lworkmax1,m or lwork=-1.
13:   info – IntegerOutput
On exit: info=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings

-999<info<0
If info=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
info=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

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

f08akf (dormlq) 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 routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately 2nk 2m-k  if side='L' and 2mk 2n-k  if side='R'.
The complex analogue of this routine is f08axf (zunmlq).
