+/**
+ * This class provides an implementation of the Karatsuba multiplication algorithm.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Karatsuba multiplication is a divide-and-conquer algorithm for multiplying two large
+ * numbers. It is faster than the classical multiplication algorithm and reduces the
+ * time complexity to O(n^1.585) by breaking the multiplication of two n-digit numbers
+ * into three multiplications of n/2-digit numbers.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The main idea of the Karatsuba algorithm is based on the following observation:
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * Let x and y be two numbers:
+ * x = a * 10^m + b
+ * y = c * 10^m + d
+ *
+ * Then, the product of x and y can be expressed as:
+ * x * y = (a * c) * 10^(2*m) + ((a * d) + (b * c)) * 10^m + (b * d)
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * The Karatsuba algorithm calculates this more efficiently by reducing the number of
+ * multiplications from four to three by using the identity:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The recursion continues until the numbers are small enough to multiply directly using
+ * the traditional method.
+ * </p>
