What properties characterize the function $L(x) = x+\exp(x) \log(x)$?
As might be known, the function $L(x) = x+\exp(x)\log(x)$ plays a prominent role in the Lagarias formulation of the Riemann hypothesis:
$$\sigma(n) \le H_n + \exp(H_n) \log(H_n)$$
My question is, ...

Is there a nice way to express a matrix exponential when rows are proportionally scaled?
Assume I am given an $n \times n$ matrix $A$ with real or complex coefficients. Its matrix exponential is denoted by $\exp(A)$ and is calculated as usual. Assume further that I want to rescale the ...

Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula for exponential of general Hermitian operators
Let $A$ and $B$ be two anti-Hermitian operators on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. BCH formula gives an explicit expression for $e^A e^B$ as $e^C=e^A e^B$, for $C$ in the Lie algebra generated by $...

Does restricting the eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices to the interval $[0,2\pi)$ make the exponential map to the unitary group bijective?
Let $U \in U(n)$ be a generic unitary matrix. Since the unitary group $U(n)$ is compact and connected, I know that the exponential map is surjective, i.e. that every $U \in U(n)$ has the form $U = e^{...

Taylor coefficients of the integral of the ordered exponential
Let $A$ be a continuous $2\times 2$ matrix-valued function on $[0,1]$. Define $X_A$ as the solution of
$$
X_A'(t) = A(t) X_A(t), \qquad X(0) = I.
$$
In other words $X_A$ is the ordered exponential of $...

Possible compatible ""structure" on the Lie algebra associated with a Lie group with respect to group structure
For simplicity, let us work on an example.
Regard $GL_r(\mathbb C)$ as a Lie group with associated Lie algebra $M_r(\mathbb C)$, then there exists a canonical so called exponential map:
$$\exp: M_r(\...

Matrix exponential bounds
Let $A$ be a stochastic matrix, $q\in (0,1)$. How to bound $n$ such that $$q^n A^n e^A \leq e^A$$
Note that here $e^A$ is the matrix exponential, and $\leq$ is taken entrywise.
To be clear, what I ...
