The hardness of OMv was conjectured by Henzinger, Krinninger, Nanongkai, and Saranurak in 2015.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Henzinger |first=Monika |last2=Krinninger |first2=Sebastian |last3=Nanongkai |first3=Danupon |last4=Saranurak |first4=Thatchaphol |title=Unifying and Strengthening Hardness for Dynamic Problems via the Online Matrix-Vector Multiplication Conjecture |url=https://doi.org/10.1145/2746539.2746609 |journal=Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing |series=STOC '15 |publisher=Association for Computing Machinery |pages=21–30 |doi=10.1145/2746539.2746609 |isbn=978-1-4503-3536-2}}</ref> Formally, they presented the following conjecture:

OMv can be solved in <math>O(n^3)</math> time by a naive algorithm that, in each of the <math>n</math> rounds, multiplies the matrix <math>M</math> and the new vector <math>v_i</math> in <math>O(n^2)</math> time.
