Description

f08bbf (dtpqrt) forms the QR factorization of a real m+n by n triangular-pentagonal matrix C,
C= A B  
where A is an upper triangular n by n matrix and B is an m by n pentagonal matrix consisting of an m-l by n rectangular matrix B1 on top of an l by n upper trapezoidal matrix B2:
B= B1 B2 .  
The upper trapezoidal matrix B2 consists of the first l rows of an n by n upper triangular matrix, where 0lminm,n. If l=0, B is m by n rectangular; if l=n and m=n, B is upper triangular.
A recursive, explicitly blocked, QR factorization (see f08abf (dgeqrt)) is performed on the matrix C. The upper triangular matrix R, details of the orthogonal matrix Q, and further details (the block reflector factors) of Q are returned.
Typically the matrix A or B2 contains the matrix R from the QR factorization of a subproblem and f08bbf (dtpqrt) performs the QR update operation from the inclusion of matrix B1.
For example, consider the QR factorization of an l by n matrix B^ with l<n: B^ = Q^R^ , R^ = R1^ R2^ , where R1^ is l by l upper triangular and R2^ is n-l by n rectangular (this can be performed by f08abf (dgeqrt)). Given an initial least squares problem B^ X^ = Y^  where X and Y are l by nrhs matrices, we have R^ X^ = Q^T Y^ .
Now, adding an additional m-l rows to the original system gives the augmented least squares problem
BX=Y  
where B is an m by n matrix formed by adding m-l rows on top of R^ and Y is an m by nrhs matrix formed by adding m-l rows on top of Q^TY^.
f08bbf (dtpqrt) can then be used to perform the QR factorization of the pentagonal matrix B; the n by n matrix A will be zero on input and contain R on output.
In the case where B^ is r by n, rn, R^ is n by n upper triangular (forming A) on top of r-n rows of zeros (forming first r-n rows of B). Augmentation is then performed by adding rows to the bottom of B with l=0.

Error Indicators and Warnings

info<0
If info=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.

Accuracy

The computed factorization is the exact factorization of a nearby matrix A+E, where
E2 = Oε A2 ,  
and ε is the machine precision.

Parallelism and Performance

f08bbf (dtpqrt) 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 routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately 23 n2 3m-n  if mn or 23 m2 3n-m  if m<n.
The block size, nb, used by f08bbf (dtpqrt) is supplied explicitly through the interface. For moderate and large sizes of matrix, the block size can have a marked effect on the efficiency of the algorithm with the optimal value being dependent on problem size and platform. A value of nb=64minm,n is likely to achieve good efficiency and it is unlikely that an optimal value would exceed 340.
To apply Q to an arbitrary real rectangular matrix C, f08bbf (dtpqrt) may be followed by a call to f08bcf (dtpmqrt). For example,
Call DTPMQRT('Left','Transpose',m,p,n,l,nb,b,ldb, &
              t,ldt,c,ldc,c(n+1,1),ldc,work,info)
forms C=QTC, where C is m+n by p.
To form the orthogonal matrix Q explicitly set p=m+n, initialize C to the identity matrix and make a call to f08bcf (dtpmqrt) as above.

Example

This example finds the basic solutions for the linear least squares problems
minimize Axi - bi 2 ,   i=1,2  
where b1 and b2 are the columns of the matrix B,
A = -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   and  B= -2.67 0.41 -0.55 -3.10 3.34 -4.01 -0.77 2.76 0.48 -6.17 4.10 0.21 .  
A QR factorization is performed on the first 4 rows of A using f08abf (dgeqrt) after which the first 4 rows of B are updated by applying QT using f08acf (dgemqrt). The remaining row is added by performing a QR update using f08bbf (dtpqrt); B is updated by applying the new QT using f08bcf (dtpmqrt); the solution is finally obtained by triangular solve using R from the updated QR.
