Function QR

In RPN, function QR produces the QR factorization of a matrix A

n

×m

returning a

Q

n

×n

orthogonal matrix, a R

n

×m

upper trapezoidal matrix, and a P

m

×m

permutation matrix, in stack levels 3, 2, and 1. The matrices A, P, Q and R are
related by A

P = QR. For example, [[ 1,-2,1][ 2,1,-2][ 5,-

2,1]] QR
produces

3: [[-0.18 0.39 0.90][-0.37 –0.88 0.30][-0.91 0.28 –0.30]]
2: [[ -5.48 –0.37 1.83][ 0 2.42 –2.20][0 0 –0.90]]
1: [[1 0 0][0 0 1][0 1 0]]

Matrix Quadratic Forms

A quadratic form from a square matrix A is a polynomial expression originated
from x

Ax

T

. For example, if we use A = [[2,1,–1][5,4,2][3,5,–1]], and x =

[X Y Z]

T

, the corresponding quadratic form is calculated as

Finally, x

Ax

T

= 2X
