Abstract

We prove a lower bound of 2mn + 2n - m - 2 for the bilinear complexity of the multiplication of n × m-matrices with m × n-matrices using the substitution method (m ≥ n ≥ 3). In particular, we obtain the improved lower bound of 19 for the bilinear complexity of 3 × 3-matrix multiplication.
