Jun 23, 2011 at 5:26 comment added Nilima Nigam Xodarap, why are you exponentiating this matrix, and where does the problem come from? In other words, do you want the object $(e^A)$, or are you interested in computing its action on a given vector? These are (at the numerical linear algebra level) somewhat different questions. I'll be happy to point you to some references if you specify what you're trying to do.

May 28, 2010 at 20:40 comment added Steve Huntsman In MATLAB you'll want to sparsify explicitly if you haven't already; the "sparse" command does this. Then use "eigs" (not "eig") to return the eigenvectors. Do what everyone else is saying (if your matrix is really that sparse, MATLAB should be up to it on a modern laptop) and then compare the results you obtain with "expm" (if you can). I'd be surprised if the calculation took more than a few minutes.
May 28, 2010 at 19:18 comment added Nate Eldredge Are you looking for an exact result, or a numerical approximation? If the latter, look at the facilities available in Matlab or Octave or your favorite scientific computation package. This should certainly be provided. (At the very least, you will be able to diagonalize the matrix, probably faster than you think.)
May 28, 2010 at 17:24 comment added Xodarap @Mariano: I changed this to be "exponential" - is this what you meant?
May 28, 2010 at 16:28 comment added Robin Chapman You might consult Nick Higham's book Matrix functions: books.google.co.uk/…

May 28, 2010 at 14:04 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez Can you fix the title? You did not mean "exponent"...
