Group-theoretic Algorithms for Matrix Multiplication

Abstract: We further develop the group-theoretic approach to fast matrix multiplication introduced by Cohn and Umans, and for the first time use it to derive algorithms asymptotically faster than the standard algorithm. We describe several families of wreath product groups that achieve matrix multiplication exponent less than 3, the asymptotically fastest of which achieves exponent 2.41. We present two conjectures regarding specific improvements, one combinatorial and the other algebraic. Either one would imply that the… Show more

“…In this section, we perform forward error analysis for three classes of recursive matrix multiplication algorithms, starting with the Strassen-like algorithms based on stationary partitioning, then generalizing to algorithms with non-stationary partitioning, and finally to the algorithms of the kind developed in [9] and [7]. The error analysis in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 is done with respect to the entry-wise maximum norm on A, B, C = AB, while the analysis in Section 3.3 is for an arbitrary matrix norm satisfying an extra monotonicity assumption.…”

“…The complexity of the fastest known method to date due to D. Coppersmith and S. Winograd [10] is about O(n 2.38 ). A new approach based on group-theoretic methods was recently developed in [9] and [7], along with several ideas that can potentially reduce the bound on ω to ω = 2 (obviously, ω cannot fall below 2, since O(n 2 ) operations are required just to read off the entries of the resulting matrix).…”
