Matrix multiplication via arithmetic progressions. (English) Zbl 0702.65046

A new method is presented for accelerating matrix multiplication asymptotically by a basic trilinear form which is not a matrix product. The method is based on Schönhage’s \(\tau\)-theorem, Strassen’s construction, and the Salem-Spencer theorem. The first variant of construction gives a matrix exponent \(\omega =2.404\). An improvement to of 2.388 is obtained by considering more terms and indices. Finally, some more complicated techniques offer a better estimate of 2.376. A combinatorial construction (whose realization is not guaranteed) is proposed which would yield \(\omega =2\).
