NAG Toolbox: nag_matop_complex_herm_matrix_exp (f01fd)
Purpose
nag_matop_complex_herm_matrix_exp (f01fd) computes the matrix exponential, , of a complex Hermitian by matrix .
Syntax
[
a,
ifail] = nag_matop_complex_herm_matrix_exp(
uplo,
a, 'n',
n)
Description
is computed using a spectral factorization of
where
is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements,
, are the eigenvalues of
, and
is a unitary matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors of
.
is then given by
where
is the diagonal matrix whose
th diagonal element is
. See for example Section 4.5 of
Higham (2008).

Error Indicators and Warnings
Errors or warnings detected by the function:
-
-
The computation of the spectral factorization failed to converge.
-
-
On entry,
uplo was invalid.
-
-
Constraint: .
-
-
An internal error occurred when computing the spectral factorization. Please contact
NAG.

Dynamic memory allocation failed.
Accuracy
For an Hermitian matrix
, the matrix
, has the relative condition number
which is the minimal possible for the matrix exponential and so the computed matrix exponential is guaranteed to be close to the exact matrix. See Section 10.2 of
Higham (2008) for details and further discussion.
Further Comments
The integer allocatable memory required is
n, the double allocatable memory required is
n and the complex allocatable memory required is approximately
, where
nb is the block size required by
nag_lapack_zheev (f08fn).
The cost of the algorithm is .
As well as the excellent book cited above, the classic reference for the computation of the matrix exponential is

Open in the MATLAB editor:
f01fd_example
function f01fd_example
fprintf('f01fd example results\n\n');
uplo = 'u';
a = [1, 2 + 1i, 3 + 2i, 4 + 3i;
0, 1 + 0i, 2 + 1i, 3 + 2i;
0, 0, 1 + 0i, 2 + 1i;
