Solved: QR Factorization on sparse matrices?

Mikhail_Matrosov · ‎03-25-2011

Hello.

I'm trying to solve linear least squares problem on large (about 300k x 100k) sparse matrix. Is there a way to run QR Factorization on sparse matrix? Cannot find one listed in "Matrix Storage Schemes".

BTW: can I ask this question via premier support? Or it just about posting issues, not asking questions?

Thanks a lot.

I think there are no direct way to do that.

you can try to convert from spare to dense representation ( e.g. CSR format ) and then to use ScaLapack QR factorization.

no need to do that because of these are two different interfaces to the one input -:).
