Abstract: A new algorithm is derived for computing the actions f(tA)B and f(tA1/2)B, where f is cosine, sinc, sine, hyperbolic cosine, hyperbolic sinc, or hyperbolic sine function. A is an nimesn matrix and B is nimesn0 with n0lln. A1/2 denotes any matrix square root of A and it is never required to be computed. The algorithm offers six independent output options given t, A, B, and a tolerance. For each option, actions of a pair of trigonometric or hyperbolic matrix functions are simultaneously computed. The algorithm scales the matrix A down by a positive integer s, approximates f(s−1tA)B by a truncated Taylor series, and finally uses the recurrences of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind to recover f(tA)B. The selection of the scaling parameter and the degree of Taylor polynomial are based on a forward error analysis and a sequence of the form |Ak|1/k in such a way the overall computational cost of the algorithm is optimized. Shifting is used where applicable as a preprocessing step to reduce the scaling parameter. The algorithm works for any matrix A and its computational cost is dominated by the formation of products of A with nimesn0 matrices that could take advantage of the implementation of level-3 BLAS. Our numerical experiments show that the new algorithm behaves in a forward stable fashion and in most problems outperforms the existing algorithms in terms of CPU time, computational cost, and accuracy.
