Abstract symbolic matrix exponential
I'm new to Sage. I was told Sage can do something way better than Mathematica. I tried and didn't see the magic. So I was wondering if I did wrong.
My goal: to compute matrix exponential of 2x2 matrix whose elements are a function of time.
A(t)=[[-a(t), a(t)],[b(t), -b(t)]]
B(s)=integrate of A(t) from 0 to s
exp(B(s)) ===> I was told this can be done in one step like treating B as a constant matrix exp(B*t)
Is this possible? My approach is to solve a system of differential equations.
Thanks.
Are a(t) an b(t) known ? Of which form ? Could you please give more details and a concrete example ?
