    By deriving a new lower bound for the smallest singular value the author explains the observation that triangular systems obtained by \(LU\) or \(QR\) decomposition are frequently solved more accurately than their condition would warrant. He shows that this fact is closely connected to the rank-revealing character of these decompositions.
