f08bbc computes the QR factorization of a real (m+n)×n triangular-pentagonal matrix.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f08bbc (Nag_OrderType order, Integer m, Integer n, Integer l, Integer nb, double a[], Integer pda, double b[], Integer pdb, double t[], Integer pdt, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f08bbc, nag_lapackeig_dtpqrt or nag_dtpqrt.

3 Description

f08bbc forms the QR factorization of a real (m+n)×n triangular-pentagonal matrix C,
C= ( A B )  
where A is an upper triangular n×n matrix and B is an m×n pentagonal matrix consisting of an (m-l)×n rectangular matrix B1 on top of an l×n upper trapezoidal matrix B2:
B= ( B1 B2 ) .  
The upper trapezoidal matrix B2 consists of the first l rows of an n×n upper triangular matrix, where 0lmin(m,n). If l=0, B is m×n rectangular; if l=n and m=n, B is upper triangular.
A recursive, explicitly blocked, QR factorization (see f08abc) is performed on the matrix C. The upper triangular matrix R, details of the orthogonal matrix Q, and further details (the block reflector factors) of Q are returned.
Typically the matrix A or B2 contains the matrix R from the QR factorization of a subproblem and f08bbc performs the QR update operation from the inclusion of matrix B1.
For example, consider the QR factorization of an l×n matrix B^ with l<n: B^ = Q^R^ , R^ = ( R1^ R2^ ) , where R1^ is l×l upper triangular and R2^ is (n-l)×n rectangular (this can be performed by f08abc). Given an initial least squares problem B^ X^ = Y^ where X and Y are l×nrhs matrices, we have R^ X^ = Q^T Y^ .
Now, adding an additional m-l rows to the original system gives the augmented least squares problem
BX=Y  
where B is an m×n matrix formed by adding m-l rows on top of R^ and Y is an m×nrhs matrix formed by adding m-l rows on top of Q^TY^.
f08bbc can then be used to perform the QR factorization of the pentagonal matrix B; the n×n matrix A will be zero on input and contain R on output.
In the case where B^ is r×n, rn, R^ is n×n upper triangular (forming A) on top of r-n rows of zeros (forming first r-n rows of B). Augmentation is then performed by adding rows to the bottom of B with l=0.

For each of the blocks, an upper triangular block reflector factor is computed: T1,T2,,Tb. These are stored in the nb×n matrix T as T=[T1|T2||Tb].

7 Accuracy

The computed factorization is the exact factorization of a nearby matrix (A+E), where
E2 = O(ε) A2 ,  
and ε is the machine precision.

8 Parallelism and Performance

f08bbc 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 23 n2 (3m-n) if mn or 23 m2 (3n-m) if m<n.
The block size, nb, used by f08bbc is supplied explicitly through the interface. For moderate and large sizes of matrix, the block size can have a marked effect on the efficiency of the algorithm with the optimal value being dependent on problem size and platform. A value of nb=64min(m,n) is likely to achieve good efficiency and it is unlikely that an optimala value would exceed 340.
To apply Q to an arbitrary real rectangular matrix C, f08bbc may be followed by a call to f08bcc. For example,
nag_lapackeig_dtpmqrt(Nag_ColMajor,Nag_LeftSide,Nag_Trans,m,p,n,l,nb,b,pdb,
t,pdt,c,pdc,&c(n+1,1),ldc,&fail)
forms C=QTC, where C is (m+n)×p.
To form the orthogonal matrix Q explicitly set p=m+n, initialize C to the identity matrix and make a call to f08bcc as above.

10 Example

This example finds the basic solutions for the linear least squares problems
minimizeAxi-bi2 ,   i=1,2  
where b1 and b2 are the columns of the matrix B,
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 )   and  B= ( -2.67 0.41 -0.55 -3.10 3.34 -4.01 -0.77 2.76 0.48 -6.17 4.10 0.21 ) .  
A QR factorization is performed on the first 4 rows of A using f08abc after which the first 4 rows of B are updated by applying QT using f08acc. The remaining row is added by performing a QR update using f08bbc; B is updated by applying the new QT using f08bcc; the solution is finally obtained by triangular solve using R from the updated QR.
