Marks: +1, -0
Assume that multiplying a matrix G1 of dimension p×q with another matrix G2 of dimension q×r requires scalar multiplications. Computing the product of n matrices G1G2G3....Gn can be done by parenthesizing in different ways. Define GiGi+1 as an explicitly computed pair for a given parenthesization if they are directly multiplied. For example, in the matrix multiplication chain G1G2G3G4G5G6 using parenthesization (G1(G2G3))(G4(G5G6))⋅G2G3 and G5G6 are the only explicitly computed pairs.
Consider a matrix multiplication chain F1F2F3F4F5, where matrices F1,F2,F3,F4 and F5 are of dimensions 2×25,25×3,3×16,16×1 and 1×1000, respectively. In the parenthesization of F1F2F3F4F5 that minimizes the total number of scalar multiplications, the explicitly computed pairs is\/are
