# Function expm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compute the matrix exponential, expm(A) = e^A. The matrix must be square.
|
||
|
|
Not to be confused with exp(a), which performs element-wise
|
||
|
|
exponentiation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The exponential is calculated using the Padé approximant with scaling and
|
||
|
|
squaring; see "Nineteen Dubious Ways to Compute the Exponential of a
|
||
|
|
Matrix," by Moler and Van Loan.
