Analytic Functions of a General Matrix Variable

Functional Analysis 2008-07-07 v2 Complex Variables

Abstract

Recent innovations on the differential calculus for functions of non-commuting variables, begun for a quaternionic variable, are now extended to the case of a general matrix over the complex numbers. The expansion of F(X+Delta) is given to first order in Delta for general matrix variables X and Delta that do not commute with each other.
