  Changes In Median Household Income: 1969 to 1996
Households with a householder between 40 and 64 years old had an increase of 34 percent when the earnings of wives were counted, but an increase of 16 percent when the earnings were excluded.
The income of these households rose 28 percent from 1969 to 1979, a period when there was a gain in the median income of all households, and rose 17 percent from 1979 to 1983, a period when there was a decline in the median income of all households.
Among married-couple households with no children and with a householder 65 years or over, the proportion with low relative incomes was 34 percent in 1969, 19 percent in 1983, and 18 percent in 1996 (the 1983 and 1996 figures are not statistically different).

 QR decomposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are several methods for actually computing the QR decomposition, such as by means of Givens rotations, Householder transformations, or the Gram-Schmidt decomposition.
A Householder reflection (or Householder transformation) is a transformation that takes a vector and reflects it about some plane.
Q can be used to reflect a vector in such a way that all coordinates but one disappear.

 REFLECTIONS ON VIOLENCE, GUNS, AND THE DEFENSIVE USE OF LETHAL FORCE
Suppose the householder, hearing the intruder, retrieves his deer rifle from under the bed, creeps silently down the stairs, and draws a bead on the back of the intruder's head from a range of three meters.
Truncating the householder's use of deadly force probably would, by reducing one of the occupational hazards of housebreaking, lead to more burglary, and thus reduce the caution housebreakers now take to strike only when they believe dwellings are unoccupied.[63] More housebreaking would seem unavoidably to lead to more confrontations between intruders and householders.
Although the householder, divested of his gun and his privilege to use it, might personally pose less of a threat to the intruder than he would with both gun and privilege, the householder still represents a threat that a rational intruder would surely respect.

The three original ashramas were the chaste student (brahmachari), the householder (grihastha), and the forest-dweller (vanaprastha).
They were said to owe three debts: study of the Vedas (owed to the sages); a son (to the ancestors); and sacrifice (to the gods).
Shiva is also the deity whose phallus (linga) is the central shrine of all Shaiva temples and the personal shrine of all Shaiva householders; his priapism is said to have resulted in his castration and the subsequent worship of his disembodied phallus.

Householder QR factorization: ----------------------------- Background Problem with basic Householder QR decomposition One drawback of the basic Householder algorithm is that it doesn't take into account the registers and cache hierarchy of modern superscalar processors.
To improve the performance of Householder QR decomposition on modern superscalar processors, the algorithm has to consider the registers and cache hierarchy of these processors.
Cache Householder QR decomposition The cache model for the cache Householder decomposition algorithm model is: the processor is connected to L>=2 caches; the caches are fully associative and use least-recently-used(LRU) replacement policy.

The other difference, which you'll have to take on faith, is that the Householder factorization is generally more accurate (smaller arithmetic errors), and easier to define compactly.
If we have computed the Householder QR factorization of a matrix without encountering any singularities, then it is easy to solve linear systems.
Instead of the Householder form of the factorization, we may use the Gram-Schmidt QR factorization.

A Householder reflection is a matrix of the form $$P=I-{1\over\beta}uu^\ast,\qquad \hbox{where }\beta={\u\^2\over2}.$$ $A^\ast$ denotes the conjugate transpose $(\bar A)^t$ of a complex matrix $A\in C^{m\times n}$.
Householder reflections $P$ are Hermitian ($P^\ast=P$), unitary ($P^\ast P=I$), and self-inverse ($P^{-1}=P$).
Then $P = I - {1\over\beta}uu^\ast$ is a Householder reflection and $Pa=-\alpha e_1$.

As long as reflection is ascertaining this positively in self-realization is there for that time freedom from illusion with the duality, but not detaching by that duality is there indeed of the person the inverse [see also
As long as a living entity is not completely self-realized--as long as he is not independent of the misconception of identifying with his body, which is nothing but a reflection of the original body and senses--he cannot be relieved of the conception of duality, which is epitomized by the duality between man and woman.

Thus a Housholder reflection can only reflect unit vectors x "to be [the] jth column of [the] identity".
Householder reflections are meant to apply to any nonzero vector x, not just unit vectors.

Thus the householder and the ascetic are the tow wheels on which the cart of Jaina ethical discipline moves on quite smoothly.
A little reflection will make it clear that the concept of Ahimsa belonging to the realm of ethics is a logical consequence of the ontological nature of things.
This is manifest from the persistent emphasis laid by all the Jaina Acaryas on the veritable achievement of Samyagdarsana (spiritual conversion).

The two optimized Householder QR algorithms proposed by Carrig and Meyer in [1] are an example.
Cache Householder QR: Improve performance by reducing cache misses The idea In the cache Householder algorithm, instead of updating columns j+1 to n immediately after computing u(j), it performs only those updates necessary to accumulate u(j), u(j+1),..., u(j+s-1) using basic Householder algorithm.
Like the cache Householder algorithm, it postpones the updating of the remaining columns of A. Unlike the CH algorithm, it only updates the next s columns starting from column c using the already computed c-1 columns.

A one-sided tridiagonalisation, rather than the usual Householder reflection, was described by Hegland [33].
It is also well known that Jacobi eigensolvers improve as the matrix is more diagonally dominant, quite simply there are less iterations to achieve the required accuracy.
