givens: Givens Rotation

Description

Givens Rotations and QR decomposition

Usage

givens(A)

Arguments

A

numeric square matrix.

Value

• List with two matrices Q and R, Q orthonormal and R upper triangular, such that A=Q%*%R.

Details

givens(A) returns a QR decomposition (or factorization) of the square matrix A by applying unitary 2-by-2 matrices U such that U * [xk;xl] = [x,0] where x=sqrt(xk^2+xl^2)
