The various possibilities are specified by the arguments vect, m, n and k. The appropriate values to cover the most likely cases are as follows (assuming that

A

was an

m

n

matrix):

1.	To form the full $m$ by $m$ matrix $Q$ : nag_dorgbr(order,Nag_FormQ,m,m,n,...) (note that the array a must have at least $m$ columns).
2.	If $m > n$ , to form the $n$ leading columns of $Q$ : nag_dorgbr(order,Nag_FormQ,m,n,n,...)
3.	To form the full $n$ by $n$ matrix $P^{T}$ : nag_dorgbr(order,Nag_FormP,n,n,m,...) (note that the array a must have at least $n$ rows).
4.	If $m < n$ , to form the $m$ leading rows of $P^{T}$ : nag_dorgbr(order,Nag_FormP,m,n,m,...)

Accuracy

The computed matrix

Q

differs from an exactly orthogonal matrix by a matrix

E

such that

{‖E‖}_{2} = O (ε),

where

ε

is the machine precision. A similar statement holds for the computed matrix

P^{T}

Parallelism and Performance

nag_dorgbr (f08kfc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_dorgbr (f08kfc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the x06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations for the cases listed in Section 3 are approximately as follows:

1.	To form the whole of $Q$ : $\frac{4}{3} n (3 m^{2} - 3 m n + n^{2})$ if $m > n$ , $\frac{4}{3} m^{3}$ if $m \leq n$ ;
2.	To form the $n$ leading columns of $Q$ when $m > n$ : $\frac{2}{3} n^{2} (3 m - n)$ ;
3.	To form the whole of $P^{T}$ : $\frac{4}{3} n^{3}$ if $m \geq n$ , $\frac{4}{3} m (3 n^{2} - 3 m n + m^{2})$ if $m < n$ ;
4.	To form the $m$ leading rows of $P^{T}$ when $m < n$ : $\frac{2}{3} m^{2} (3 n - m)$ .

The complex analogue of this function is nag_zungbr (f08ktc).

Example

For this function two examples are presented, both of which involve computing the singular value decomposition of a matrix

A

, where

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 0.57 & - 1.28 & - 0.39 & 0.25 \\ - 1.93 & 1.08 & - 0.31 & - 2.14 \\ 2.30 & 0.24 & 0.40 & - 0.35 \\ - 1.93 & 0.64 & - 0.66 & 0.08 \\ 0.15 & 0.30 & 0.15 & - 2.13 \\ - 0.02 & 1.03 & - 1.43 & 0.50 \end{array})

in the first example and

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 5.42 & 3.28 & - 3.68 & 0.27 & 2.06 & 0.46 \\ - 1.65 & - 3.40 & - 3.20 & - 1.03 & - 4.06 & - 0.01 \\ - 0.37 & 2.35 & 1.90 & 4.31 & - 1.76 & 1.13 \\ - 3.15 & - 0.11 & 1.99 & - 2.70 & 0.26 & 4.50 \end{array})

in the second.

A

must first be reduced to tridiagonal form by nag_dgebrd (f08kec). The program then calls nag_dorgbr (f08kfc) twice to form

Q

and

P^{T}

, and passes these matrices to nag_dbdsqr (f08mec), which computes the singular value decomposition of

A
