Study Notes
Maximum Subarray
- Determine a maximum subarray of the form A[i:j+1] in constant time.
- Utilizes knowledge of a maximum subarray ending at index j.
Strassen’s Algorithm for Matrix Multiplication
- Standard matrix multiplication for square n x n matrices A and B involves calculating each entry c_ij as the sum of products of corresponding elements from A and B.
- The entry c_ij is defined using the formula:
( c_{ij} = \sum_{k=1}^{n} a_{ik} \cdot b_{kj} ) - For naive multiplication, the SQUARE-MATRIX-MULTIPLY procedure runs in O(n^3) time.
- The procedure consists of three nested loops iterating over n, performing constant time operations within the innermost loop, leading to cubic complexity.
Recursive Matrix Multiplication
- The SQUARE-MATRIX-MULTIPLY-RECURSIVE procedure handles matrix multiplication recursively, partitioning matrices into smaller blocks.
- Base case: if n = 1, simply multiply the single elements:
( c_{11} = a_{11} \cdot b_{11} ) - For larger matrices, it partitions A, B, and C for recursive calculation of the submatrices C_11, C_12, C_21, C_22.
- Uses index calculations for partitioning instead of copying matrices, allowing for O(1) time complexity during partitioning.
Time Complexity of Recursive Method
- Characterizes running time with T(n), indicating time complexity under this recursive definition.
- Strassen’s algorithm is noted for breaking the O(n^3) barrier, operating in O(n^2.81) due to using a divide-and-conquer approach.
- Strassen's method involves techniques like reducing the number of individual multiplications required, resulting in a time complexity of O(n^(log2(7))) or roughly O(n^2.81).
Assumptions for Simplicity
- Assumes matrix size n is an exact power of 2 for easy partitioning.
- This assumption simplifies the algorithm's steps and ensures that n/2 results in an integer dimension.
