Abstract

In this work a rationalized algorithm for calculating the product of sedenions is presented which reduces the number of underlying multiplications. Therefore, reducing the number of multiplications in VLSI processor design is usually a desirable task. The computation of a sedenion product using the naive method takes 256 multiplications and 240 additions, while the proposed algorithm can compute the same result in only 122 multiplications (or multipliers - in hardware implementation case) and 298 additions.
