template<typename _MatrixType>
Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR class

Householder rank-revealing QR decomposition of a matrix with column-pivoting.

Template parameters
_MatrixType the type of the matrix of which we are computing the QR decomposition

This class performs a rank-revealing QR decomposition of a matrix A into matrices P, Q and R such that

\[ \mathbf{A} \, \mathbf{P} = \mathbf{Q} \, \mathbf{R} \]

by using Householder transformations. Here, P is a permutation matrix, Q a unitary matrix and R an upper triangular matrix.

This decomposition performs column pivoting in order to be rank-revealing and improve numerical stability. It is slower than HouseholderQR, and faster than FullPivHouseholderQR.

This class supports the inplace decomposition mechanism.

Function documentation

template<typename _MatrixType>
Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::ColPivHouseholderQR()

Default Constructor.

The default constructor is useful in cases in which the user intends to perform decompositions via ColPivHouseholderQR::compute(const MatrixType&).

template<typename _MatrixType>
Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::ColPivHouseholderQR(Index rows, Index cols)

Default Constructor with memory preallocation.

Like the default constructor but with preallocation of the internal data according to the specified problem size.

template<typename _MatrixType> template<typename InputType>
Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::ColPivHouseholderQR(const EigenBase<InputType>& matrix) explicit

Constructs a QR factorization from a given matrix.

This constructor computes the QR factorization of the matrix matrix by calling the method compute(). It is a short cut for:

ColPivHouseholderQR<MatrixType> qr(matrix.rows(), matrix.cols());
qr.compute(matrix);

template<typename _MatrixType> template<typename InputType>
Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::ColPivHouseholderQR(EigenBase<InputType>& matrix) explicit

Constructs a QR factorization from a given matrix.

This overloaded constructor is provided for inplace decomposition when MatrixType is a Eigen::Ref.

template<typename _MatrixType>
MatrixType::RealScalar Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::absDeterminant() const

Returns the absolute value of the determinant of the matrix of which *this is the QR decomposition. It has only linear complexity (that is, O(n) where n is the dimension of the square matrix) as the QR decomposition has already been computed.

template<typename _MatrixType>
Index Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::cols() const

template<typename _MatrixType>
const PermutationType& Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::colsPermutation() const

Returns a const reference to the column permutation matrix

template<typename _MatrixType> template<typename InputType>
ColPivHouseholderQR& Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::compute(const EigenBase<InputType>& matrix)

template<typename _MatrixType> template<typename InputType>
ColPivHouseholderQR<MatrixType>& Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::compute(const EigenBase<InputType>& matrix)

Performs the QR factorization of the given matrix matrix. The result of the factorization is stored into *this, and a reference to *this is returned.

template<typename _MatrixType>
Index Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::dimensionOfKernel() const

Returns the dimension of the kernel of the matrix of which *this is the QR decomposition.

template<typename _MatrixType>
const HCoeffsType& Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::hCoeffs() const

Returns a const reference to the vector of Householder coefficients used to represent the factor Q.

For advanced uses only.

template<typename _MatrixType>
HouseholderSequenceType Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::householderQ() const

Returns the matrix Q as a sequence of householder transformations. You can extract the meaningful part only by using: qr.householderQ().setLength(qr.nonzeroPivots())

template<typename _MatrixType>
ComputationInfo Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::info() const

Reports whether the QR factorization was successful.

Returns Success

template<typename _MatrixType>
const Inverse<ColPivHouseholderQR> Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::inverse() const

Returns the inverse of the matrix of which *this is the QR decomposition.

template<typename _MatrixType>
bool Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::isInjective() const

Returns true if the matrix of which *this is the QR decomposition represents an injective linear map, i.e. has trivial kernel; false otherwise.

template<typename _MatrixType>
bool Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::isInvertible() const

Returns true if the matrix of which *this is the QR decomposition is invertible.

template<typename _MatrixType>
bool Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::isSurjective() const

Returns true if the matrix of which *this is the QR decomposition represents a surjective linear map; false otherwise.

template<typename _MatrixType>
MatrixType::RealScalar Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::logAbsDeterminant() const

Returns the natural log of the absolute value of the determinant of the matrix of which *this is the QR decomposition. It has only linear complexity (that is, O(n) where n is the dimension of the square matrix) as the QR decomposition has already been computed.

template<typename _MatrixType>
HouseholderSequenceType Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::matrixQ() const

template<typename _MatrixType>
const MatrixType& Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::matrixQR() const

Returns a reference to the matrix where the Householder QR decomposition is stored

template<typename _MatrixType>
const MatrixType& Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::matrixR() const

Returns a reference to the matrix where the result Householder QR is stored

template<typename _MatrixType>
RealScalar Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::maxPivot() const

Returns the absolute value of the biggest pivot, i.e. the biggest diagonal coefficient of R.

template<typename _MatrixType>
Index Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::nonzeroPivots() const

Returns the number of nonzero pivots in the QR decomposition. Here nonzero is meant in the exact sense, not in a fuzzy sense. So that notion isn't really intrinsically interesting, but it is still useful when implementing algorithms.

template<typename _MatrixType>
Index Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::rank() const

Returns the rank of the matrix of which *this is the QR decomposition.

template<typename _MatrixType>
Index Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::rows() const

template<typename _MatrixType>
ColPivHouseholderQR& Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::setThreshold(const RealScalar& threshold)

Parameters
threshold The new value to use as the threshold.

Allows to prescribe a threshold to be used by certain methods, such as rank(), who need to determine when pivots are to be considered nonzero. This is not used for the QR decomposition itself.

When it needs to get the threshold value, Eigen calls threshold(). By default, this uses a formula to automatically determine a reasonable threshold. Once you have called the present method setThreshold(const RealScalar&), your value is used instead.

A pivot will be considered nonzero if its absolute value is strictly greater than $ \vert pivot \vert \leqslant threshold \times \vert maxpivot \vert $ where maxpivot is the biggest pivot.

If you want to come back to the default behavior, call setThreshold(Default_t)

template<typename _MatrixType>
ColPivHouseholderQR& Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::setThreshold(Default_t)

Allows to come back to the default behavior, letting Eigen use its default formula for determining the threshold.

You should pass the special object Eigen::Default as parameter here. qr.setThreshold(Eigen::Default);

See the documentation of setThreshold(const RealScalar&).

template<typename _MatrixType> template<typename Rhs>
const Solve<ColPivHouseholderQR, Rhs> Eigen::ColPivHouseholderQR<_MatrixType>::solve(const MatrixBase<Rhs>& b) const

Parameters
b the right-hand-side of the equation to solve.
Returns a solution.

This method finds a solution x to the equation Ax=b, where A is the matrix of which *this is the QR decomposition, if any exists.

This method just tries to find as good a solution as possible. If you want to check whether a solution exists or if it is accurate, just call this function to get a result and then compute the error of this result, or use MatrixBase::isApprox() directly, for instance like this: bool a_solution_exists = (A*result).isApprox(b, precision); This method avoids dividing by zero, so that the non-existence of a solution doesn't by itself mean that you'll get inf or nan values.

If there exists more than one solution, this method will arbitrarily choose one.

Example:

Matrix3f m = Matrix3f::Random();
Matrix3f y = Matrix3f::Random();
cout << "Here is the matrix m:" << endl << m << endl;
cout << "Here is the matrix y:" << endl << y << endl;
Matrix3f x;
x = m.colPivHouseholderQr().solve(y);
assert(y.isApprox(m*x));
cout << "Here is a solution x to the equation mx=y:" << endl << x << endl;

Output:

Here is the matrix m:
  0.68  0.597  -0.33
-0.211  0.823  0.536
 0.566 -0.605 -0.444
Here is the matrix y:
  0.108   -0.27   0.832
-0.0452  0.0268   0.271
  0.258   0.904   0.435
Here is a solution x to the equation mx=y:
 0.609   2.68   1.67
-0.231  -1.57 0.0713
  0.51   3.51   1.05
