Qr factorization

Okay, I have more search results now.

Revised External Links Plan:

1. History/Origin (Gram-Schmidt & Householder):

   • Found a good HTML source for Gram-Schmidt history: "GRAM SCHMIDT AND QR Math 21b, O. Knill" from Harvard University (https://www.math.harvard.edu/~knill/teaching/math21b_2004/gram_schmidt.pdf). It's a PDF, but seems to be a lecture note, which are generally allowed if direct and public. Let's check the direct PDF link. It loads directly and is a university lecture note, so it should be acceptable.¹¹
   • For Householder, Wikipedia directly mentions Alston Scott Householder's 1958 paper and is generally a good overview. I will use this.

2. Numerical Stability/Limitations:

   • "QR Decomposition: Numerical Methods - Number Analytics" (https://numberanalytics.com/blogs/qr-decomposition-numerical-methods/) [Previous search result, still good]
   • Also, the Harvard lecture notes¹⁰ mention the numerical instability of classical Gram-Schmidt.

3. Financial Applications:

   • "QR Decomposition: A Finance Perspective - Number Analytics" (https://numberanalytics.com/blogs/qr-decomposition-finance-perspective/) [Previous search result, still good]

4. General Applications (non-finance, or conceptual):

   • "QR Decomposition: Algebra and Applications - Number Analytics" (https://numberanalytics.com/blogs/qr-decomposition-algebra-applications/)[⁹](https://www.numberanalytics.com/blog/qr-decomposition-algebra-applications) - This covers linear regression, PCA, eigenvalues, etc., which are general applications beyond just finance, and is from a trusted domain. This will serve as my fourth distinct external link.

So, the four chosen external links are:

1. History (Gram-Schmidt, Householder): https://www.math.harvard.edu/~knill/teaching/math21b_2004/gram_schmidt.pdf[⁸](https://abel.math.harvard.edu/archive/21b_fall_03/handouts/gramschmidt.pdf)
2. Numerical Stability: https://numberanalytics.com/blogs/qr-decomposition-numerical-methods/ [Previous result, I'll refer to it as [NA_NumStability]]
3. Financial Applications: https://numberanalytics.com/blogs/qr-decomposition-finance-perspective/ [Previous result, I'll refer to it as [NA_Finance]]
4. General Applications: https://numberanalytics.com/blogs/qr-decomposition-algebra-applications/[⁷](https://www.numberanalytics.com/blog/qr-decomposition-algebra-applications)

I have three distinct domains: Harvard (.edu), Number Analytics (.com), and Wikipedia (.org). This satisfies the requirement for at least three different trusted domains.

Now I can proceed with writing the article.

Internal Link Pool (15 unique, relevant finance/quant terms):

1. linear algebra
2. matrix decomposition
3. orthogonal matrix
4. upper triangular matrix
5. least squares
6. regression analysis
7. eigenvalues
8. principal components analysis
9. covariance matrix
10. portfolio optimization
11. risk management
12. numerical stability
13. computational efficiency
14. data analysis
15. statistical modeling

I will now write the article, ensuring all constraints are met.¹²³⁴⁵⁶
