Question on whether, "An entire function, nowhere zero, has an entire logarithm," holds for ...

Counterexample: Consider the entire function $$ A(z) = \pmatrix{e^z & 0\cr z & 1\cr}$$ An entire logarithm of $A(z)$ must have eigenvalues $z + 2\pi i n$ and $2 \pi i m$ for …

How to prove this determinant is positive?

Here is a counterexample with $N=3$. Consider the matrices $$ B_1 = \log(t) \pmatrix{0 & 4\cr -1 & 0\cr}, B_2 = \log(t) \pmatrix{-2 & 2\cr 1 & 2\cr}, B_3 = \log(t) \pmatrix{4 & -2\cr -2 & 1\cr}$$ whe …

Bounds on Matrix Exponential

$\|C(k)\|$ can be arbitrarily large, since e.g. you can add some large integer multiple of $2\pi i I$ without changing $e^{C(k)}$. If you want to try to avoid this, you might specify that $C(k)$ is t …
