scipy.sparse.linalg._matfuncs:expm
source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/scipy/sparse/linalg/_matfuncs.py:545
Signature
def expm(A)Summary
Compute the matrix exponential using Pade approximation.
Parameters
A: (M,M) array_like or sparse array2D Array or Matrix (sparse or dense) to be exponentiated
Returns
expA: (M,M) ndarrayMatrix exponential of
A
Notes
This is algorithm (6.1) which is a simplification of algorithm (5.1).
