Abstract

This paper concerns with the numerical solution of a class of ordinary differential equations on G l(n), the set of all n×n nonsingular real matrices. In particular, we consider matrix dynamical systems of the form Y′=Y −T F(Y). The presence of the inverse of the solution and of possible escape times make the numerical solution of this kind of differential equations somewhat worrisome. Here, we suggest some numerical techniques to avoid some problems arising in its numerical solution.
