Theorem 7.1. Every \( A \in {\mathbb{C}}^{m \times n}\left( {m \geq n}\right) \) has a full QR factorization, hence also a reduced QR factorization.
Proof. Suppose first that \( A \) has full rank and that we want just a reduced QR factorization. In this case, a proof of existence is provided by the Gram-Schmidt algorithm itself. By construction, this process generates orthonormal columns of \( \widehat{Q} \) and entries of \( \widehat{R} \) such that (7.4) holds. ...

Theorem 7.2. Each \( A \in {\mathbb{C}}^{m \times n}\left( {m \geq n}\right) \) of full rank has a unique reduced \( {QR} \) factorization \( A = \widehat{Q}\widehat{R} \) with \( {r}_{jj} > 0. \)
Proof. Again, the proof is provided by the Gram-Schmidt iteration. From (7.4), the orthonormality of the columns of \( \widehat{Q} \), and the upper-triangularity of \( \widetilde{R} \), it follows that any reduced QR factorization of \( A \) must satisfy (7.6)-(7.8). By the assumption of full rank, the denominators (7...

Theorem 8.1. Algorithms 7.1 and 8.1 require \( \sim {2m}{n}^{2} \) flops to compute a \( {QR} \) factorization of an \( m \times n \) matrix.
Theorem 8.1 can be established as follows. To be definite, consider the modified Gram-Schmidt algorithm, Algorithm 8.1. When \( m \) and \( n \) are large, the work is dominated by the operations in the innermost loop:\n\n\[ {r}_{ij} = {q}_{i}^{ * }{v}_{j} \]\n\n\[ {v}_{j} = {v}_{j} - {r}_{ij}{q}_{i}. \]\n\nThe first l...

Suppose we are given \( m \) distinct points \( {x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{m} \in \mathbb{C} \) and data \( {y}_{1},\ldots ,{y}_{m} \in \mathbb{C} \) at these points. Then there exists a unique polynomial interpolant to these data in these points, that is, a polynomial of degree at most \( m - 1 \) , \[ p\left( x\right) = {c...
The relationship of the data \( \left\{ {x}_{i}\right\} ,\left\{ {y}_{i}\right\} \) to the coefficients \( \left\{ {c}_{i}\right\} \) can be expressed by the square Vandermonde system seen already in Example 1.1: \[ \left\lbrack \begin{matrix} 1 & {x}_{1} & {x}_{1}^{2} & & {x}_{1}^{m - 1} \\ 1 & {x}_{2} & {x}_{2}^{2} &...

Theorem 11.1. Let \( A \in {\mathbb{C}}^{m \times n}\left( {m \geq n}\right) \) and \( b \in {\mathbb{C}}^{m} \) be given. A vector \( x \in {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) minimizes the residual norm \( \parallel r{\parallel }_{2} = \parallel b - {Ax}{\parallel }_{2} \), thereby solving the least squares problem (11.2), if and on...
Proof. The equivalence of (11.8) and (11.10) follows from the properties of orthogonal projectors discussed in Lecture 6, and the equivalence of (11.8) and (11.9) follows from the definition of \( r \) . To show that \( y = {Pb} \) is the unique point in range \( \left( A\right) \) that minimizes \( \parallel b - y{\pa...

Consider the trivial problem of obtaining the scalar \( x/2 \) from \( x \in \mathbb{C} \)
The Jacobian of the function \( f : x \mapsto x/2 \) is just the derivative \( J = {f}^{\prime } = 1/2 \), so by (12.6),\n\n\[ \n\kappa = \frac{\parallel J\parallel }{\parallel f\left( x\right) \parallel /\parallel x\parallel } = \frac{1/2}{\left( {x/2}\right) /x} = 1.\n\]\n\nThis problem is well-conditioned by any sta...

Consider the problem of computing \( \sqrt{x} \) for \( x > 0 \) .
The Jacobian of \( f : x \mapsto \sqrt{x} \) is the derivative \( J = {f}^{\prime } = 1/\left( {2\sqrt{x}}\right) \), so we have\n\n\[ \kappa = \frac{\parallel J\parallel }{\parallel f\left( x\right) \parallel /\parallel x\parallel } = \frac{1/\left( {2\sqrt{x}}\right) }{\sqrt{x}/x} = \frac{1}{2}. \]\n\nAgain, this is ...

Consider the problem of obtaining the scalar \( f\left( x\right) = {x}_{1} - {x}_{2} \) from the vector \( x = {\left( {x}_{1},{x}_{2}\right) }^{ * } \in {\mathbb{C}}^{2} \) . For simplicity, we use the \( \infty \) -norm on the data space \( {\mathbb{C}}^{2} \) . The Jacobian of \( f \) is
\[ J = \left\lbrack \begin{array}{ll} \frac{\partial f}{\partial {x}_{1}} & \frac{\partial f}{\partial {x}_{2}} \end{array}\right\rbrack = \left\lbrack \begin{array}{ll} 1 & - 1 \end{array}\right\rbrack \] with \( \parallel J{\parallel }_{\infty } = 2 \) . The condition number is thus \[ \kappa = \frac{\parallel J{\par...

Consider the computation of \( f\left( x\right) = \tan x \) for \( x \) near \( {10}^{100} \) . In this problem, minuscule relative perturbations in \( x \) can result in arbitrarily large changes in \( \tan x \) . The result: \( \tan \left( {10}^{100}\right) \) is effectively uncomputable on most computers.
The same minuscule perturbations result in arbitrary changes in the derivative of \( \tan x \), so there is little point in trying to calculate the Jacobian other than to observe that it is not small.

Let \( A \in {\mathbb{C}}^{m \times m} \) be nonsingular and consider the equation \( {Ax} = b \) . The problem of computing \( b \), given \( x \), has condition number

The problem of computing \( x \), given \( b \), has condition number \[ \kappa = \begin{Vmatrix}{...

Theorem 14.1. For problems \( f \) and algorithms \( \widetilde{f} \) defined on finite-dimensional spaces \( X \) and \( Y \), the properties of accuracy, stability, and backward stability all hold or fail to hold independently of the choice of norms in \( X \) and \( Y \) .
Proof. It is well known (and easily proved) that in a finite-dimensional vector space, all norms are equivalent in the sense that if \( \| \cdot \| \) and \( \| \cdot {\| }^{\prime } \) are two norms on the same space, then there exist positive constants \( {C}_{1} \) and \( {C}_{2} \) such that \( {C}_{1}\parallel x\p...

Suppose we are given vectors \( x, y \in {\mathbb{C}}^{m} \) and wish to compute the inner product \( \alpha = {x}^{ * }y \) . The obvious algorithm is to compute the pairwise products \( {\bar{x}}_{i}{y}_{i} \) with \( \otimes \) and add them with \( \oplus \) to obtain a computed result \( \widetilde{\alpha } \) .
It can be shown that this algorithm is backward stable; this is done implicitly in Lecture 17.
No
On the other hand, suppose we wish to compute the rank-one outer product \( A = x{y}^{ * } \) for vectors \( x \in {\mathbb{C}}^{m}, y \in {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) . The obvious algorithm is to compute the \( {mn} \) products \( {x}_{i}{\bar{y}}_{j} \) with \( \otimes \) and collect them into a matrix \( \widetilde{A} \) .
This algorithm is stable, but it is not backward stable. The explanation is that the matrix \( \widetilde{A} \) will be most unlikely to have rank exactly 1, and thus it cannot generally be written in the form \( \left( {x + {\delta x}}\right) {\left( y + \delta y\right) }^{ * } \) . As a rule, for problems where the d...

Example 15.3. Suppose we use \( \oplus \) to compute \( x + 1 \), given \( x \in \mathbb{C} : \widetilde{f}\left( x\right) = \) \( {fl}\left( x\right) \bigoplus 1 \) . This algorithm is stable but not backward stable.
The reason is that for \( x \approx 0 \), the addition \( \oplus \) will introduce absolute errors of size \( O\left( {\epsilon }_{\text{machine }}\right) \) . Relative to the size of \( x \), these are unbounded, so they cannot be interpreted as caused by small relative perturbations in the data. This example indicate...

What is it reasonable to expect of a computer program or calculator that computes \( \sin x \) or \( \cos x \) ?
Again the answer is stability, not backward stability. For \( \cos x \), this follows from the fact that \( \cos 0 \neq 0 \), as in the previous example. For both \( \sin x \) and \( \cos x \), backward stability is also ruled out by the fact that the function has derivative equal to zero at certain points. For example...

Theorem 15.1. Suppose a backward stable algorithm is applied to solve a problem \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) with condition number \( \kappa \) on a computer satisfying the axioms (13.5) and (13.7). Then the relative errors satisfy\n\n\[ \frac{\parallel \widetilde{f}\left( x\right) - f\left( x\right) \parallel }{\parallel...
Proof. By the definition (14.5) of backward stability, we have \( \widetilde{f}\left( x\right) = f\left( \widetilde{x}\right) \) for some \( \widetilde{x} \in X \) satisfying\n\n\[ \frac{\parallel \widetilde{x} - x\parallel }{\parallel x\parallel } = O\left( {\epsilon }_{\text{machine }}\right) \]\n\nBy the definition ...

As always in this book, the expression \( O\left( {\epsilon }_{\text{machine }}\right) \) in (16.3) has the precise meaning discussed in Lecture 14. The bound holds as \( {\epsilon }_{\text{machine }} \rightarrow 0 \), uniformly for all matrices \( A \) of any fixed dimensions \( m \) and \( n \), but not uniformly wit...
