โฆ Synopsis
A new form of the QR factorization procedure is presented which is based on a generalization of the Householder transformation. This extension is a block matrical form of the usual Householder procedure which leads to a dichotomic algorithm which allows parallel implementation.

The greatest emphasis has hitherto been on parallel application of Givens rotations. In this paper we show that on the Distributed Array Processor (DAP), Householder reflections turn out to be faster than Givens rotations, to perform QR factorization of an m X n matrix, especially for m >> n.

A sparse QR-factorization algorithm SPARQR for coarse-grained parallel computations is described. The coefficient matrix, which is assumed to be general sparse, is reordered in an attempt to bring as many zero elements in the lower left corner as possible. The reordered matrix is then partitioned in
The aim of this paper is to show how geometric and algebraic approaches lead us to a new symplectic elementary transformations: the 2-D symplectic Householder transformations. Their features are studied in details. Their interesting properties allow us to construct a new algorithm for computing a SR
