orth - orthogonal basis

Calling Sequence

Q=orth(A)

Parameters

Description

Q=orth(A) returns Q, an orthogonal basis for the span of A. Range(Q) = Range(A) and Q'*Q=eye.

The number of columns of Q is the rank of A as determined by the QR algorithm.

Examples


A=rand(5,3)*rand(3,4);
[X,dim]=rowcomp(A);X=X';
svd([orth(A),X(:,1:dim)])
