Actually, you making the statement that it was a *standard* result
made it clear to me that taking the exponential of a matrix is a
branch of mathematics in itself and not just simply a once-off device
used by Jackson.
When I read Dirk’s qualifying remark “Standard property” regarding exp
(X) exp(-X) = exp(O) it seemed quite probable that Dirk simply didn’t
know that the relationship holds only because the arguments of
exponential commute.
How standard would it have to be, Pete?
To me, referring to it as a “standard property”
is misleading.
Why?
