We provide a new algorithm for generating the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff (BCH) series $Z = \log(\e^X \e^Y)$ in an arbitrary generalized Hall basis of the free Lie algebra $\mathcal{L}(X,Y)$ generated by $X$ and $Y$. It is based on the close…
The Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula is a general result for the quantity $Z(X,Y)=\ln( e^X e^Y )$, where $X$ and $Y$ are not necessarily commuting. For completely general commutation relations between $X$ and $Y$, (the free Lie algebra),…
A new algorithm for computing coefficients of the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff series is presented, which can be straightforwardly implemented in any general-purpose programming language or computer algebra system. The algorithm avoids…
It is pointed out that Reinsch's matrix operation formulation of calculating the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series [math-ph/9905012] is equivalent to the straightforward series expansion. The amount of calculation does not decrease by his…
The classical Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula gives a recursive way to compute the Hausdorff series H=ln(e^X e^Y) for non-commuting X,Y. Formally H lives in the graded completion of the free Lie algebra L generated by X,Y. We present a…
We get compact expressions for the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff series $Z = \log(\e^X \, \e^Y)$ in terms of right-nested commutators. The reduction in the number of terms originates from two facts: (i) we use as a starting point an explicit…
Multiplication of two elements of the special unitary group SU(N) determines uniquely a third group element. A BAker-Campbell-Hausdorff relation is derived which expresses the group parameters of the product (written as an exponential) in…

The exponential of an operator or matrix is widely used in quantum theory, but it sometimes can be a challenge to evaluate. For non-commutative operators ${\bf X}$ and ${\bf Y}$, according to the Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff-Dynkin theorem,…
For the computation of terms of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series $H = \log(e^Ae^B})$ some a priori knowledge about the denominators of the coefficients of the series can be beneficial. In this paper an explicit formula for the…
Recently it has been introduced an algorithm Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) formula, which extends the Van-Brunt and Visser recent results, leading to new closed forms of BCH formula. More recently, it has been shown that there are {\it 13…
A simple expression is derived for the terms in the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series. One formulation of the result involves a finite number of operations with matrices of rational numbers. Generalizations are discussed.
The well-known Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff theorem in Lie theory says that the logarithm of a noncommutative product e X e Y can be expressed in terms of iterated commutators of X and Y. This paper provides a gentle introduction t{\'o}…
In a recent paper the author derived a formula for calculating common denominators for the homogeneous components of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) series. In the present work it is proved that this formula actually yields the smallest…
In a previous article, [arXiv:1501.02506, JPhysA {\bf48} (2015) 225207], we demonstrated that whenever $[X,Y] = u X + vY + cI$ the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula reduces to the tractable closed-form expression \[ Z(X,Y)=\ln( e^X e^Y ) =…
This short paper presents an efficient implementation of Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula for calculating the logarithm of product of two possibly non-commutative Lie group elements using only Lie algebra terms.
We address the problem of constructing the non-associative version of the Dynkin form of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula; that is, expressing $\log (\exp (x)\exp(y))$, where $x$ and $y$ are non-associative variables, in terms of the…
An exact representation of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula as a power series in just one of the two variables is constructed. Closed form coefficients of this series are found in terms of hyperbolic functions, which contain all of the…
We establish explicit convergence radii for the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff (BCH) series in special Banach--Malcev algebras of shifts-those embeddable into a Banach alternative algebra. Under the continuity estimate $\|[x,y]\|\leq…
