Householder Reflections
Description
Householder reflections and QR decomposition
Usage
householder(A)
Arguments
A |
numeric matrix with |
Details
The Householder method applies a succession of elementary unitary
matrices to the left of matrix A
. These matrices are the so-called
Householder reflections.
Value
List with two matrices Q
and R
, Q
orthonormal and
R
upper triangular, such that A=Q%*%R
.

Examples
## QR decomposition
A <- matrix(c(0,-4,2, 6,-3,-2, 8,1,-1), 3, 3, byrow=TRUE)
S <- householder(A)
(Q <- S$Q); (R <- S$R)
Q %*% R # = A
## Solve an overdetermined linear system of equations
A <- matrix(c(1:8,7,4,2,3,4,2,2), ncol=3, byrow=TRUE)
S <- householder(A); Q <- S$Q; R <- S$R
m <- nrow(A); n <- ncol(A)
b <- rep(6, 5)
x <- numeric(n)
b <- t(Q) %*% b
x[n] <- b[n] / R[n, n]
for (k in (n-1):1)
x[k] <- (b[k] - R[k, (k+1):n] %*% x[(k+1):n]) / R[k, k]
qr.solve(A, rep(6, 5)); x
