Abstract

An alternative to the matrix inverse procedure is presented. Given a bit register which is arbitrarily large, the matrix inverse to an arbitrarily large matrix can be peformed in O(N2){\cal O}(N^2) operations, and to matrix multiplication on a vector in O(N){\cal O}(N). This is in contrast to the usual O(N3){\cal O}(N^3) and O(N2){\cal O}(N^2). A finite size bit register can lead to speeds up of an order of magnitude in large matrices such as 500×500500\times 500. The FFT can be improved from O(NlnN){\cal O}(N\ln N) to O(N){\cal O}(N) steps, or even fewer steps in a modified butterfly configuration.
