EXPMATRIX Function |
computes the exponential of a matrix
where matrix is any matrix.
Given a matrix , the EXPMATRIX function returns an matrix approximating . The function uses a Padé approximation algorithm as presented in Golub and Van Loan (1989).
Note that this module does not exponentiate each entry of a matrix; for that, use the EXP function.
The following example demonstrates the EXPMATRIX function. For the matrix used in the example, is the matrix Here is the code:
A = { 1 1, 0 1 }; t = 3; X = ExpMatrix( t*A ); ExactAnswer = ( exp(t) || t*exp(t) ) // ( 0 || exp(t) ); print X, ExactAnswer;
The output from this code is
X 20.085537 60.256611 0 20.085537 EXACTANSWER 20.085537 60.256611 0 20.085537
