ABSTRACT
This paper describes the methods for finding fast algorithms for computing matrix–vector products including the procedures based on the block-structured matrices. The proposed methods involve an analysis of the structural properties of matrices. The presented approaches are based on the well-known optimization techniques: the simulated annealing and the hill-climbing algorithm along with its several extensions. The main idea of the proposed methods consists in finding a decomposition of the original matrix into a sparse matrix and a matrix corresponding to an appropriate block-structured pattern. The main criterion for optimizing is a reduction of the computational cost. The methods presented in this paper can be successfully implemented in many digital signal processing tasks.
