QRDecomposition

QRDecomposition[m]
yields the QR decomposition for a numerical matrix m. The result is a list {q, r}, where q is an orthogonal matrix and r is an upper-triangular matrix.

MORE INFORMATION

The original matrix m is equal to Conjugate[Transpose[q]].r. »

For non-square matrices, q is row orthonormal. »

The matrix r has zeros for all entries below the leading diagonal. »

QRDecomposition[m, Pivoting->True] yields a list {q, r, p} where p is a permutation matrix such that m.p is equal to Conjugate[Transpose[q]].r. »
