In this article, we introduce a notion of an exponential matrix, which is a polynomial matrix with exponential properties, and a notion of an equivalence relation of two exponential matrices, and then we initiate to study classifying…
Expressions are given for the exponential of a hermitian matrix, A. Replacing A by iA these are explicit formulas for the Fourier transform of exp(iA). They extend to any size matrix the previous results for the 2 X 2, 3 X 3, and 4 X 4…

An arbitrary Mueller matrix can be decomposed into a sum of up to four deterministic Mueller-Jones matrices, with strengths given by the eigenvalues of an associated Hermitian matrix. A geometrical representation of the eigenvalues in terms…
Let $N\ge 4$. We show that, if $x_1,\dots,x_N$ and $y_1,\dots,y_N$ are $N$-tuples of strictly positive numbers whose arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means agree, then \[ \max_j x_j <(N-2)\max_j y_j \quad\text{and}\quad \min_j x_j…

We use isomorphism $\varphi$ between matrix algebras and simple orthogonal Clifford algebras $\cl(Q)$ to compute matrix exponential ${e}^{A}$ of a real, complex, and quaternionic matrix A. The isomorphic image $p=\varphi(A)$ in $\cl(Q),$…
The exponential of an NxN matrix can always be expressed as a matrix polynomial of order N-1. In particular, a general group element for the fundamental representation of SU(N) can be expressed as a matrix polynomial of order N-1 in a…
Building on the classification of all characteristic polynomials of integer symmetric matrices having small span (span less than 4), we obtain a classification of small-span polynomials that are the characteristic polynomial of a Hermitian…

We give a classification of the matrices in the unitary group U(1,1;H),where H is the division ring of the real quaternions. To this end, we consider the complex representation phi(P) for P in U(1,1;H). Next, we compute the characteristic…
We show an explicit formula, with a quite easy deduction, for the exponential matrix $e^{tA}$ of a real square matrix $A$ of order $n\times n$. The elementary method developed requires neither Jordan canonical form, nor eigenvectors, nor…
