COMMENTS

Log(base 2)7. Exponent in how, by recursive application of Strassen's algorithm, as shown in Nayebi, the product of two matrices can be computed by at most (4.7)*n^(log2(7)).  Proof that this constant is irrational; by kb: Assume that log_2(7)  = m/n for some positive integers m and n.

==>7 = 2^(m/n)

==> 7^n = 2^m.

This is a contradiction, because the left side is odd, while the right side is even [Jonathan Vos Post, Feb 16, 2011].
