T(n) = Time to multiply two n by n matrices.T(n)= 7 T(n/2) + 18(n/2)2

Solution: T(n)= O( n k) where k= log2(7).

Coppersmith–Winograd algorithm: named after Don Coppersmith and Shmuel Winograd, O (n 2.376) time. Trivial algorithm: O (n 3) time.Strassen’s algorithm: O (n 2.80736) time.It might be possible to time improve the exponent further; however, the exponent must be at least 2 (because an matrix has n 2 values, and all of them have to be read at least once to calculate the exact result).

The Coppersmith–Winograd algorithm is frequently used as a building block in other algorithms to prove theoretical time bounds. However, unlike the Strassen algorithm, it is not used in practice because it only provides an advantage for matrices so large that they cannot be processed by modern hardware.
