Abstract

A simple and efficient numerical algorithm for computing the exponential of a symmetric matrix is developed in this paper. For an n × n matrix, the required number of operations is around 10/3 n3. It is based on the orthogonal reduction to a tridiagonal form and the Chebyshev uniform approximation of e-x on [0, ∞). ©1998 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
