It offers faster practical algorithms for fundamental matrix decompositions, potentially benefiting scientific computing applications.

The paper presents fast Cholesky, LU, and QR decomposition algorithms achieving O(n^{2.529}) time complexity using the fastest known matrix multiplication, with a Strassen-based implementation outperforming the GNU Scientific Library in some examples.

This note presents fast Cholesky/LU/QR decomposition algorithms with $O(n^{2.529})$ time complexity when using the fastest known matrix multiplication. The algorithms have potential application, since a quickly made implementation using Strassen multiplication has lesser execution time than the employed by the GNU Scientific Library for the same task in at least a few examples. The underlaying ideas are very simple. Despite this, I have been unable to find these methods in the literature.
