Hello,

Can someone tell me what kind of Pivoting does QRDecomposition use when
I specify

[qq,rr,ee]=QRDecomposition[mm,Pivoting->True];

Mathematica document says that ee is a permutation "such that"

mm.ee == Transpose[qq].rr

but nothing more.

Especially, I want to have rr with decreasing diagonal elements (like
the way another system does it by the command "qr"). It seems that
Pivoting->True
doesn't work that way.

Regards, Cong
