Abstract:We investigate a variant of the reorthogonalized block classical Gram–Schmidt method for computing the QR factorization of a full column rank matrix. Our aim is to bound the loss of orthogonality even when the first local QR algorithm is only conditionally stable. In particular, this allows the use of modified Gram–Schmidt instead of Householder transformations as the first local QR algorithm. Numerical experiments confirm the stable behavior of the new variant. We also examine the use of non‐QR local factoriz… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
