Abstract

A matrix factorization technique called the NF (Nonsingular Factorization) algorithm is introduced. It has the following properties with respect to computing the matrix-vector product MX: (i) if M is an (n × n) Kronecker matrix, then the total number of multiplications followed by additions, (denoted by ∑), is such that : (ii) if M is an (m × n) non-Kronecker matrix. The case implies that no savings in arithmetic operation are realized.

The NF algorithm provides a means of readily obtaining factorizations associated with Kronecker matrices. In addition, it provides a unified approach for seeking factorizations of a class of non-Kronecker matrices (i.e., transformations) that are used in signal processing applications. In the past, the factorizations associated with such matrices have been sought using ad hoc techniques.
