I think I am under informed here. Isn't the matrix exponential normally computed using eigen decomposition? It seems from the series expansion that all that is involved is to exponentiate the diagonal in the eigen vector form. Sent from my iPhone On May 28, 2013, at 11:18, Mi

Matrix exponential?

2013-05-28 Thread Michael McCormick
Hi folks, I'm looking at a few linear algebra libraries for a Java project. I need to implement clustering of a graph whose edge weights come from a matrix exponential. I've noticed that, of the three major math libraries I've found available in Java (JBLAS, Colt, Commons Ma
