The only book devoted exclusively to matrix functions, this
research monograph gives a thorough treatment of the theory of
matrix functions and numerical methods for computing them. The
author's elegant presentation focuses on the equivalent definitions
of f(A) via the Jordan canonical form, polynomial interpolation,
and the Cauchy integral formula, and features an emphasis on
results of practical interest and an extensive collection of
problems and solutions. Functions of Matrices more than just a
monograph on matrix functions; its wide-ranging content-including
an overview of applications, historical references, and
miscellaneous results, tricks, and techniques with an f(A)
connection-makes it useful as a general reference in numerical
linear algebra. Other key features of the book include development
of the theory of conditioning and properties of the Frechet
derivative; an emphasis on the Schur decomposition, the block
Parlett recurrence, and judicious use of Pade approximants; the
inclusion of new, unpublished research results and improved
algorithms; a chapter devoted to the f(A)b problem; and a MATLAB(R)
toolbox providing implementations of the key algorithms.
