function

scipy.linalg._decomp_qr:qr

source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/scipy/linalg/_decomp_qr.py:33

Signature

def qr(a, overwrite_a = False, lwork = <object object at 0x0000>, mode = full, pivoting = False, check_finite = True)

Summary

Compute QR decomposition of a matrix.

Extended Summary

Calculate the decomposition A = Q R where Q is unitary/orthogonal and R upper triangular.

Parameters

a : (..., M, N) array_like

Matrix to be decomposed

overwrite_a : bool, optional

Whether to overwrite data in a (may improve performance). Default is False. See tutorial_linalg_overwrite for details.

lwork : int, optional

Work array size, lwork >= a.shape[1]. If None or -1, an optimal size is computed.

mode : {'full', 'r', 'economic', 'raw'}, optional

Determines what information is to be returned: either both Q and R ('full', default), only R ('r') or both Q and R but computed in economy-size ('economic', see Notes). The final option 'raw' (added in SciPy 0.11) makes the function return two matrices (Q, TAU) in the internal format used by LAPACK.

pivoting : bool, optional

Whether or not factorization should include pivoting for rank-revealing qr decomposition. If pivoting, compute the decomposition A[..., :, P] = Q @ R as above, but where P is chosen such that the diagonal of R is non-increasing. Equivalently, albeit less efficiently, an explicit P matrix may be formed explicitly by permuting the rows or columns (depending on the side of the equation on which it is to be used) of an identity matrix. See Examples.

check_finite : bool, optional

Whether to check that the input matrix contains only finite numbers. Disabling may give a performance gain, but may result in problems (crashes, non-termination) if the inputs do contain infinities or NaNs.

Returns

Q : float or complex ndarray

Of shape (..., M, M), or (..., M, K) for mode='economic'. Not returned if mode='r'. Replaced by tuple (Q, TAU) if mode='raw'.

R : float or complex ndarray

Of shape (..., M, N), or (..., K, N) for mode in ['economic', 'raw']. K = min(M, N).

P : int ndarray

Of shape (..., N,) for pivoting=True. Not returned if pivoting=False.

Raises

: LinAlgError

Raised if decomposition fails

Notes

This is an interface to the LAPACK routines dgeqrf, zgeqrf, dorgqr, zungqr, dgeqp3, and zgeqp3.

If mode=economic, the shapes of Q and R are (..., M, K) and (..., K, N) instead of (..., M,M) and (..., M,N), with K=min(M,N).
