Calculo exacto de la matriz exponencial

Abstract

We present several methods that allow the exact computation of the exponential matrix etA. Methods that include computation of eigenvectors or Laplace transform are very well-known, and they are mentioned herefor completeness. We also present other methods, not well-known inthe literature, that do not need the computation of eigenvectors, and are easy to introduce in a classroom, thus providing us with general formulas that can be applied to any matrix.
