Efficient Algorithms for Computing a Strong Rank-Revealing QR Factorization
Abstract
Given an $m \times n$ matrix M with $m \geqslant n$, it is shown that there exists a permutation $\Pi $ and an integer k such that the QR factorization \[ M\Pi = Q\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {A_k } & {B_k } \\ {} & {C_k } \\ \end{array} } \right) \] reveals the numerical rank of M: the $k \times k$ upper-triangular matrix $A_k $ is well conditioned, $\|C_k \|_2 $ is small, and $B_k $is linearly dependent on $A_k $ with coefficients bounded by a low-degree polynomial in n. Existing rank-revealing QR (RRQR) algorithms are related to such factorizations and two algorithms are presented for computing them. The new algorithms are nearly as efficient as QR with column pivoting for most problems and take $O(mn^2 )$ floating-point operations in the worst case.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
