The exponential matrix: an explicit formula by an elementary method

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show an explicit formula, with a quite easy deduction, for the exponential matrix etA of a real square matrix A of order nimesn. The elementary method developed requires neither Jordan canonical form, nor eigenvectors, nor resolution of linear systems of differential equations, nor resolution of linear systems with constant coefficients, nor matrix inversion, nor complex integration, nor functional analysis. The basic tools are power series and the method of partial fraction decomposition. Two examples are given. A proof of one well-known stability result is given.
