Matrices admit a QR decomposition

178 Views Asked by At

I just wanted to ask which matrices admit a QR decomposition. I think that all matrices $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ with $m \ge n$ admit a QR decomp. Are these the only ones that have a QR decomp, or does it also work for $m <n$?

QR decomposition works for any matrices of any size. It is essentially just a Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization process applied to rows of a matrix, which can be surely applied to any set of vectors.
