qrinsert (MATLAB Functions)

Insert column or row into QR factorization

Syntax

[Q1,R1] = qrinsert(Q,R,j,x)
[Q1,R1] = qrinsert(Q,R,j,x,'col')
[Q1,R1] = qrinsert(Q,R,j,x,'row')

Description

[Q1,R1] = qrinsert(Q,R,j,x) returns the QR factorization of the matrix A1, where A1 is A = Q*R with the column x inserted before A(:,j). If A has n columns and j = n+1, then x is inserted after the last column of A.

[Q1,R1] = qrinsert(Q,R,j,x,'col') is the same as qrinsert(Q,R,j,x).

[Q1,R1] = qrinsert(Q,R,j,x,'row') returns the QR factorization of the matrix A1, where A1 is A = Q*R with an extra row, x, inserted before A(j,:).

Examples

A = magic(5);  
[Q,R] = qr(A);
j = 3; 
x = 1:5;
[Q1,R1] = qrinsert(Q,R,j,x,'row')

returns a valid QR factorization, although possibly different from

A2 = [A(1:j-1,:); x; A(j:end,:)];
[Q2,R2] = qr(A2)

Algorithm

The qrinsert function inserts the values of x into the jth column (row) of R. It then uses a series of Givens rotations to zero out the nonzero elements of R on and below the diagonal in the jth column (row).
