New scaling-squaring Taylor algorithms for computing the matrix exponential

Sumario:The matrix exponential plays a fundamental role in linear differential equations arising in engineering, mechanics, and control theory. The most widely used, and the most generally efficient, technique for calculating the matrix exponential is a combination of “scaling and squaring” with a Pad´e approximation. For alternative scaling and squaring methods based on Taylor series, we present two modifications that provably reduce the number of matrix multiplications needed to satisfy the required accuracy bounds, and a detailed comparison of the several algorithmic variants is provided.
