Alternatives for Gaussian elimination transform and conquer algorithm
Gaussian elimination algorithm in transform and conquer has O(n3) c开发者_Go百科omplexity. Is there any technique that give more efficient complexity of this algorithm?
There are algorithms for matrix inversion with better asymptotic complexity, e.g., the Strassen algorithm with complexity O(n2.807) and the Coppersmith–Winograd algorithm with complexity O(n2.376).
(Note that the complexity of matrix multiplication and matrix inversion are the same)
It depends on which complexity you measure:
Number of multiplications: No, by changing the technique you can only worsen the complexity of Gaussian elimination.
Number of time steps: Yes, parallel implementation of the row operations reduces time complexity to O(n).
