The process of alternately row scaling and column scaling a positive $n \times n$ matrix $A$ converges to a doubly stochastic positive $n \times n$ matrix $S(A)$, called the \emph{Sinkhorn limit} of $A$. Exact formulae for the Sinkhorn…

We present a new fast search algorithm for <m,m,m> Triple Product Property (TPP) triples as defined by Cohn and Umans in 2003. The new algorithm achieves a speed-up factor of 40 up to 194 in comparison to the best known search algorithm.…

Matrix-vector multiplication is one of the most fundamental computing primitives. Given a matrix $A\in\mathbb{F}^{N\times N}$ and a vector $b$, it is known that in the worst case $\Theta(N^2)$ operations over $\mathbb{F}$ are needed to…

In this paper, we introduce the Maximum Matrix Contraction problem, where we aim to contract as much as possible a binary matrix in order to maximize its density. We study the complexity and the polynomial approximability of the problem.…

In 1948, Fritz John proposed a theorem stating that every convex body has a unique maximal volume inscribed ellipsoid, known as the John ellipsoid. The John ellipsoid has become fundamental in mathematics, with extensive applications in…

We give a 3/2-approximation algorithm for stable matchings that runs in $O(m)$ time. The previously best known algorithm by McDermid has the same approximation ratio but runs in $O(n^{3/2}m)$ time, where $n$ denotes the number of people and…

NP (search) problems allow easy correctness tests for solutions. Climbing algorithms allow also easy assessment of how close to yielding the correct answer is the configuration at any stage of their run. This offers a great flexibility, as…

By an {\em isotropy group} of a tensor $t\in V_1 \otimes V_2\otimes V_3=\widetilde V$ we mean the group of all invertible linear transformations of $\widetilde V$ that leave $t$ invariant and are compatible (in an obvious sense) with the…

In 2003 COHN and UMANS introduced a group-theoretic approach to fast matrix multiplication. This involves finding large subsets S, T and U of a group G satisfying the Triple Product Property (TPP) as a means to bound the exponent $\omega$…

It is widely known that the lower bound for the algorithmic complexity of square matrix multiplication resorts to at least $n^2$ arithmetic operations. The justification builds upon the following reasoning: given that there are $2 n^2$…

In a paper published in 1981, Sch\"onhage showed that large total matrix multiplications can be reduced to powers of partial matrix multiplication tensors, which correspond to the bilinear computation task of multiplying matrices with some…

We present a non-commutative algorithm for the product of 3x5 by 5x5 matrices using 58 multiplications. This algorithm allows to construct a non-commutative algorithm for multiplying 5x5 (resp. 10x10, 15x15) matrices using 98 (resp. 686,…

We consider the Max-$3$-Section problem, where we are given an undirected graph $ G=(V,E)$ equipped with non-negative edge weights $w :E\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ and the goal is to find a partition of $V$ into three equisized parts while…

We show that assuming the availability of the processor with variable precision arithmetic, we can compute matrix-by-matrix multiplications in $O(N^2log_2N)$ computational complexity. We replace the standard matrix-by-matrix multiplications…

We dispel with "street wisdom" regarding the practical implementation of Strassen's algorithm for matrix-matrix multiplication (DGEMM). Conventional wisdom: it is only practical for very large matrices. Our implementation is practical for…
