Lower Bounds for Matrix Product
Las Vegas, Nevada
October 14-October 17
ISBN: 0-7695-1390-5
We prove lower bounds on the number of product gates in bilinear and quadratic circuits that compute the product of two n × n matrices over finite fields. In particular we obtain the following results:
  • 1. We show that the number of product gates in any bilinear (or quadratic) circuit that computes the product of two n × n matrices over GF(2) is at least 3n^2 - o(n^2 ).
  • 2. We show that the number of product gates in any bilinear circuit that computes the product of two n × n matrices over GF(p) is at least (2.5 + \frac{{1.5}}{{p^3 - 1}})n^2 - o(n^2).
  • These results improve the former results of [3, 1] who proved lower bounds of 2.5n^2 - o(n^2).
