public class QrHelperFunctions
extends Object

Contains different functions that are useful for computing the QR decomposition of a matrix.

Two different families of functions are provided for help in computing reflectors. Internally both of these functions switch between normalization by division or multiplication. Multiplication is most often significantly faster than division (2 or 3 times) but produces less accurate results on very small numbers. It checks to see if round off error is significant and decides which one it should do.

Tests were done using the stability benchmark in jmatbench and there doesn't seem to be any advantage to always dividing by the max instead of checking and deciding. The most noticeable difference between the two methods is with very small numbers.

                                         double[] u,
                                         double max)

Normalizes elements in 'u' by dividing by max and computes the norm2 of the normalized array u. Adjust the sign of the returned value depending on the size of the first element in 'u'. Normalization is done to avoid overflow.

 for i=j:numRows
   u[i] = u[i] / max
   tau = tau + u[i]*u[i]
 end
 tau = sqrt(tau)
 if( u[j] < 0 )
    tau = -tau;
 

Parameters:

j - Element in 'u' that it starts at.

numRows - Element in 'u' that it stops at.

u - Array

max - Max value in 'u' that is used to normalize it.

Returns:

norm2 of 'u'

                                    double[] _temp)

Performs a rank-1 update operation on the submatrix specified by w with the multiply on the right.

A = (I - γ*u*u^T)*A

The order that matrix multiplies are performed has been carefully selected to minimize the number of operations.

Before this can become a truly generic operation the submatrix specification needs to be made more generic.
