Abstract

In this paper, we propose an approach to the computation of more accurate divided differences for the interpolation in the Newton form of the matrix exponential propagator φ(hA)v, φ (z) = (e z − 1)/z. In this way, it is possible to approximate φ (hA)v with larger time step size h than with traditionally computed divided differences, as confirmed by numerical examples. The technique can be also extended to “higher” order φ k functions, k≥0.
