Oct 11, 2021 at 1:51 comment added Po C. @LSpice I am actually doing numerical optimization that's why I need the derivative formula very badly. That simple formula has a great advantage that you can iteratively go higher order derivative. My codes is in finite dimensional of course, but indeed I have sparse linear operator of arbitrary dimension (maximum frequency for my choice of precision) in the first place.
Oct 7, 2021 at 2:12 comment added Michael Engelhardt @LSpice - yes, that would be nice in general; for present purposes, since the OP states that "actually I just need finite-dimensional matrices", something more pedestrian might suffice ...
Oct 6, 2021 at 23:42 comment added LSpice @MichaelEngelhardt, one problem with that is that it only makes sense after embedding in a matrix algebra. If we know that $X(t)$ and $Y$ lie in a prescribed Lie algebra, then it would be nice to have an expression intrinsic to the Lie algebra. (At least, I would find it nice! I don't know about @‍PoC.)

Oct 6, 2021 at 21:20 comment added Po C. I see. Maybe I should specify we may want something like $\frac{d}{dt}e^{X(t)} = e^{X(t)}\frac{1 - e^{-\mathrm{ad}_{X}}}{\mathrm{ad}_{X}}\frac{dX(t)}{dt}$ which has an explicit expansion.

Oct 6, 2021 at 5:33 comment added Michael Engelhardt Sure, that's what I mean when I say that "you know how to write down those two derivatives": Just insert the standard formula that you quote after your sentence "I start with the original formula for the derivative of the exponential map"
Oct 6, 2021 at 5:18 comment added Po C. At least somethings based on $d/dt X(t)$ but not $d/dt \exp X(t)$. $d/dt \exp X(t)$ is not easy/obvious to compute/approximate numerically, for example.
Oct 6, 2021 at 4:26 comment added Michael Engelhardt Well, there's the obvious answer $[\frac{d}{dt} e^X] Y e^{-X} + e^X Y [\frac{d}{dt} e^{-X}] $ (and you know how to write down those two derivatives) ... is that not an acceptable form?
