Abstract

We study the problem of efficiently correcting an erroneous product of two \(n\times n\) matrices over a ring. We provide a randomized algorithm for correcting a matrix product with \(k\) erroneous entries running in \(\tilde{O}(\sqrt{k}n^2)\) time and a deterministic \(\tilde{O}(kn^2)\)-time algorithm for this problem (where the notation \(\tilde{O}\) suppresses polylogarithmic terms in \(n\) and \(k\)).
