Hi everyone!
I want to know what is the differnce between the Gram-Smith procedure and qr.m function in matlab. Why there is a fourth coulmn resulting from using qr.m function? The photo is attached for the Gram-Smith procedure .Any help will be so appreciated.
The code is
A=[1 -2 -1; 2 0 1; 2 -4 2;4 0 0];
[Q,R] = qr(A)
The result is
Q =
-0.2000 0.4000 0.8000 -0.4000
-0.4000 -0.2000 -0.4000 -0.8000
-0.4000 0.8000 -0.4000 0.2000
-0.8000 -0.4000 0.2000 0.4000
R =
-5.0000 2.0000 -1.0000
0 -4.0000 1.0000
0 0 -2.0000

MATLAB's QR decomposition is computed using Householder transformations, which is generally more numerically advantageous.

Good point, det(R) will only tell you the absolute value of the original matrix, otherwise you would have to construct the complete Q matrix to compute the sign of its determinant.
