"""
Find the minimum number of multiplications needed to multiply chain of matrices.
Reference: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/matrix-chain-multiplication-dp-8/

The algorithm has interesting real-world applications. Example:
1. Image transformations in Computer Graphics as images are composed of matrix.
2. Solve complex polynomial equations in the field of algebra using least processing
power.
3. Calculate overall impact of macroeconomic decisions as economic equations involve a
number of variables.
4. Self-driving car navigation can be made more accurate as matrix multiplication can
accurately determine position and orientation of obstacles in short time.

Python doctests can be run with the following command:
python -m doctest -v matrix_chain_multiply.py

Given a sequence arr[] that represents chain of 2D matrices such that the dimension of
the ith matrix is arr[i-1]*arr[i].
So suppose arr = [40, 20, 30, 10, 30] means we have 4 matrices of dimensions
40*20, 20*30, 30*10 and 10*30.

matrix_chain_multiply() returns an integer denoting minimum number of multiplications to
multiply the chain.

We do not need to perform actual multiplication here.
We only need to decide the order in which to perform the multiplication.

Hints:
1. Number of multiplications (ie cost) to multiply 2 matrices
of size m*p and p*n is m*p*n.
2. Cost of matrix multiplication is associative ie (M1*M2)*M3 != M1*(M2*M3)
3. Matrix multiplication is not commutative. So, M1*M2 does not mean M2*M1 can be done.
4. To determine the required order, we can try different combinations.
So, this problem has overlapping sub-problems and can be solved using recursion.
We use Dynamic Programming for optimal time complexity.

arr = [40, 20, 30, 10, 30]

"""
Find the minimum number of multiplications needed to multiply chain of matrices.
Reference: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/matrix-chain-multiplication-dp-8/

The algorithm has interesting real-world applications. Example:
1. Image transformations in Computer Graphics as images are composed of matrix.
2. Solve complex polynomial equations in the field of algebra using least processing
power.
3. Calculate overall impact of macroeconomic decisions as economic equations involve a
number of variables.
4. Self-driving car navigation can be made more accurate as matrix multiplication can
accurately determine position and orientation of obstacles in short time.

Python doctests can be run with the following command:
python -m doctest -v matrix_chain_multiply.py

Given a sequence arr[] that represents chain of 2D matrices such that the dimension of
the ith matrix is arr[i-1]*arr[i].
So suppose arr = [40, 20, 30, 10, 30] means we have 4 matrices of dimensions
40*20, 20*30, 30*10 and 10*30.

matrix_chain_multiply() returns an integer denoting minimum number of multiplications to
multiply the chain.

We do not need to perform actual multiplication here.
We only need to decide the order in which to perform the multiplication.

Hints:
1. Number of multiplications (ie cost) to multiply 2 matrices
of size m*p and p*n is m*p*n.
2. Cost of matrix multiplication is associative ie (M1*M2)*M3 != M1*(M2*M3)
3. Matrix multiplication is not commutative. So, M1*M2 does not mean M2*M1 can be done.
4. To determine the required order, we can try different combinations.
So, this problem has overlapping sub-problems and can be solved using recursion.
We use Dynamic Programming for optimal time complexity.

Example input:
arr = [40, 20, 30, 10, 30]
output: 26000

"""
Find the minimum number of multiplications needed to multiply chain of matrices.
Reference: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/matrix-chain-multiplication-dp-8/

The algorithm has interesting real-world applications. Example:
1. Image transformations in Computer Graphics as images are composed of matrix.
2. Solve complex polynomial equations in the field of algebra using least processing
power.
3. Calculate overall impact of macroeconomic decisions as economic equations involve a
number of variables.
4. Self-driving car navigation can be made more accurate as matrix multiplication can
accurately determine position and orientation of obstacles in short time.

Python doctests can be run with the following command:
python -m doctest -v matrix_chain_multiply.py

Given a sequence arr[] that represents chain of 2D matrices such that the dimension of
the ith matrix is arr[i-1]*arr[i].
So suppose arr = [40, 20, 30, 10, 30] means we have 4 matrices of dimensions
40*20, 20*30, 30*10 and 10*30.

matrix_chain_multiply() returns an integer denoting minimum number of multiplications to
multiply the chain.

We do not need to perform actual multiplication here.
We only need to decide the order in which to perform the multiplication.

Hints:
1. Number of multiplications (ie cost) to multiply 2 matrices
of size m*p and p*n is m*p*n.
2. Cost of matrix multiplication is associative ie (M1*M2)*M3 != M1*(M2*M3)
3. Matrix multiplication is not commutative. So, M1*M2 does not mean M2*M1 can be done.
4. To determine the required order, we can try different combinations.
So, this problem has overlapping sub-problems and can be solved using recursion.
We use Dynamic Programming for optimal time complexity.

arr = [40, 20, 30, 10, 30]
