Why this formula appears here
On the complexity side, progress has been real but almost entirely incremental and mostly orthogonal to the central P vs NP question itself. The matrix multiplication exponent — the smallest number such that two n n matrices can be multiplied in O() arithmetic operations — sets an upper bound relevant to a huge range of numerical linear algebra, and it has been chipped downward repeatedly. A January 2024 paper identified a previously unrecognized inefficiency in the leading “laser method” approach and used the fix to bring the best known upper bound to approximately 2.371552 [ 5 ] , continuing a sequence of small improvements stretching back decades. No one working on…
