## Class QRDecomposition

• Direct Known Subclasses:
RRQRDecomposition

public class QRDecomposition
extends Object
Calculates the QR-decomposition of a matrix.

The QR-decomposition of a matrix A consists of two matrices Q and R that satisfy: A = QR, Q is orthogonal (QTQ = I), and R is upper triangular. If A is m×n, Q is m×m and R m×n.

This class compute the decomposition using Householder reflectors.

For efficiency purposes, the decomposition in packed form is transposed. This allows inner loop to iterate inside rows, which is much more cache-efficient in Java.

This class is based on the class with similar name from the JAMA library, with the following changes:

• a getQT method has been added,
• the solve and isFullRank methods have been replaced by a getSolver method and the equivalent methods provided by the returned DecompositionSolver.
Since:
1.2 (changed to concrete class in 3.0)
