Last time we derived a formula for the derivative of the matrix exponential. Here we will be focusing instead on the expression $$D\exp(x)u=\exp(x)u=u\exp(x),$$ which holds whenever \(u\) commutes with \(x\). In this post, \(E\) denotes a real Banach space and \(L(E)\) denotes the space of continuous linear operators on \(E\). ODEs The (matrix) exponential can […]
