QR Decomposition Calculator
Householder QR decomposition of a square matrix: orthogonal Q and upper-triangular R with A = Q·R.
Description
Householder QR decomposition of a square matrix: orthogonal Q and upper-triangular R with A = Q·R.
QR Decomposition Calculator is a focused tool for the following task. Householder QR decomposition of a square matrix: orthogonal Q and upper-triangular R with A = Q·R. It reports Q, R from the values you provide rather than inventing measurements, coefficients, or professional judgment that are not part of the input.

How QR Decomposition works
Householder QR decomposition of a square matrix: orthogonal Q and upper-triangular R with A = Q·R. Inputs are interpreted exactly in the displayed units and the calculation returns the following fields without presentation rounding.
- Q
- Returned list. Orthogonal factor Q (Q·R reproduces the input).
- R
- Returned list. Upper-triangular factor R.
Limitations and assumptions
- Floating-point rounding, ill-conditioned inputs, singular cases, tolerance choices, and rapidly growing output sets can affect numerical accuracy or feasibility.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units, preserve source measurements and assumptions, and independently verify consequential decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check the result analytically on a small case and use an established numerical or symbolic library with suitable precision and diagnostics for consequential work.
