Hello! I read from the commons math web page that  Q-R -decomposition
of matrices is on the wish list. Last night and this afternoon I had
some free time so I created a clean-room implementation of this
decomposition using Householder reflectors. The main source of
information was the description of the algorithm found in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_decomposition

I would be interested in working towards getting this algorithm
integrated in commons-math, but how should I proceed? And does anyone
have suggestions on how to improve the implementation? The source code
is downloadable from
http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jonisalo/QRDecomp.java
(should be understandable but may not be up to Apache standards yet)

There is a problem with the current implementation though: it only
works for non-singular square matrices. What will the usage of the
algorithm be like? Should the singular and non-square cases be
implemented, too?

Kind regards,
Joni Salonen
