def qr_householder(A):
"""Return a QR-decomposition of the matrix A using Householder reflection.
The QR-decomposition decomposes the matrix A of shape (m, n) into an
orthogonal matrix Q of shape (m, m) and an upper triangular matrix R of
shape (m, n). Note that the matrix A does not have to be square. This
method of decomposing A uses the Householder reflection, which is
numerically stable and of complexity O(n^3).

Arguments:
A -- a numpy.ndarray of shape (m, n)
Note: several optimizations can be made for numeric efficiency, but this is
intended to demonstrate how it would be represented in a mathematics
textbook. In cases where efficiency is particularly important, an optimized
version from BLAS should be used.
>>> A = np.array([[12, -51, 4], [6, 167, -68], [-4, 24, -41]], dtype=float)
>>> Q, R = qr_householder(A)
>>> # check that the decomposition is correct
>>> np.allclose(Q@R, A)
True
>>> # check that Q is orthogonal
>>> np.allclose(Q@Q.T, np.eye(A.shape[0]))
True
>>> np.allclose(Q.T@Q, np.eye(A.shape[0]))
True
>>> # check that R is upper triangular
>>> np.allclose(np.triu(R), R)
True
