Strassen’s algorithm is an efficient divide-and-conquer approach for matrix multiplication, introduced by Volker Strassen in 1969. It reduces the time complexity of matrix multiplication from the traditional O(n³) to approximately O(n^2.81). This is achieved by reducing the number of multiplications required during the process.
Key Idea
Instead of performing 8 multiplications for two n x n matrices, Strassen’s algorithm reduces this to 7 multiplications by introducing intermediate matrices. It works only for square matrices of size n x n, where n is a power of 2. If not, matrices are padded with zeros to meet this requirement.
Steps of the Algorithm
Divide each matrix into four equal-sized submatrices: For matrices A and B: A = | A11 A12 | B = | B11 B12 | | A21 A22 | | B21 B22 |
Compute seven intermediate matrices:
