Abstract

We revisit the problem of multiplying two square matrices over the (min, +) semi-ring, where all entries are integers from a bounded range [-M : M] ∪ {∞}. The current state of the art for this problem is a simple O(M n^{ω} log M) time algorithm by Alon, Galil and Margalit [JCSS'97], where ω is the exponent in the runtime of the fastest matrix multiplication (FMM) algorithm. We design a new simple algorithm whose runtime is O(M n^ω + M n² log M), thereby removing the logM factor in the runtime if ω > 2 or if n^ω = Ω (n²log n).
