Description

Matrix chain multiplication (or Matrix Chain Ordering Problem; MCOP) is an optimization problem. Given a sequence of matrices, the goal is to find the most efficient way to multiply these matrices. In the approximation problem, the matrix multiplication carried out with the output result will use a number of operations that has some sort of upper bound based on the optimal solution.
