Description
The routine forms the QR factorization of a general m-by-n matrix A (see Orthogonal Factorizations). No pivoting is performed. The diagonal entries of R are real and nonnegative.
The routine does not form the matrix Q explicitly. Instead, Q is represented as a product of min(m, n) elementary reflectors. Routines are provided to work with Q in this representation.
This routine supports the Progress Routine feature. See Progress Function for details.
Input Parameters
- matrix_layout
 -  
     
Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).
 - m
 -  
     
The number of rows in the matrix A (m≥ 0).
 - n
 -  
     
The number of columns in A (n≥ 0).
 - a
 -  
     
Array, size max(1,lda*n) for column major layout and max(1,lda*m) for row major layout, containing the matrix A.
 - lda
 -  
     
The leading dimension of a; at least max(1, m) for column major layout and at least max(1, n) for row major layout.
 
Output Parameters
- a
 -  
     
Overwritten by the factorization data as follows:
The elements on and above the diagonal of the array contain the min(m,n)-by-n upper trapezoidal matrix R (R is upper triangular if m≥n); the elements below the diagonal, with the array tau, present the orthogonal matrix Q as a product of min(m,n) elementary reflectors (see Orthogonal Factorizations).
The diagonal elements of the matrix R are real and non-negative.
 - tau
 -  
     
Array, size at least max (1, min(m, n)). Contains scalars that define elementary reflectors for the matrix Qin its decomposition in a product of elementary reflectors (see Orthogonal Factorizations).
 
Return Values
This function returns a value info.
If info=0, the execution is successful.
If info = -i, the i-th parameter had an illegal value.
Application Notes
The computed factorization is the exact factorization of a matrix A + E, where
||E||2 = O(ε)||A||2.
The approximate number of floating-point operations for real flavors is
(4/3)n3  |  
      if m = n,  |  
     
(2/3)n2(3m-n)  |  
      if m > n,  |  
     
(2/3)m2(3n-m)  |  
      if m < n.  |  
     
The number of operations for complex flavors is 4 times greater.
To solve a set of least squares problems minimizing ||A*x - b||2 for all columns b of a given matrix B, you can call the following:

to compute C = QT*B (for real matrices);  |  
     |
to compute C = QH*B (for complex matrices);  |

      to solve R*X = C.  |  
     
(The columns of the computed X are the least squares solution vectors x.)
