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 = Q⋅R. 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⋅A⋅x
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⋅A⋅x
T
= 2X

The QUADF menu
The calculator provides the QUADF menu for operations related to QUADratic
Forms. The QUADF menu is accessed through „Ø.
Note: Examples and definitions for all functions in this menu are available
through the help facility in the calculator. Try these exercises in ALG mode to
