EXP Function

calculates the exponential

EXP( matrix)

where matrix is a numeric matrix or literal.

The EXP function applies the exponential function to every element of the argument matrix. The exponential is the natural number raised to the indicated power. An example of a valid statement follows:

  
    b={1 2 3 4}; 
    a=exp(b); 
  
                 A             1 row       4 cols    (numeric) 
  
                   2.7182818  7.3890561 20.085537  54.59815
 

If you want to compute the matrix exponential for some matrix, you can call the EXPMATRIX module in IMLMLIB.
