We consider the numerical approximation of f(A) b where b∈ RN and A is the sum of Kronecker products, that is A= M2⊗ I+ I⊗ M1∈ RN×N. Here f is a regular function such that f(A) is well defined. We derive a computational strategy that significantly lowers the memory requirements and computational efforts of the standard approximations, with special emphasis on the exponential and on completely monotonic functions, for which the new procedure becomes particularly advantageous.

Abstract
We consider the numerical approximation of f(A) b where b∈ RN and A is the sum of Kronecker products, that is A= M2⊗ I+ I⊗ M1∈ RN×N. Here f is a regular function such that f(A) is well defined. We derive a computational strategy that significantly lowers the memory requirements and computational efforts of the standard approximations, with special emphasis on the exponential and on completely monotonic functions, for which the new procedure becomes particularly advantageous. Our findings are illustrated by numerical experiments with typical functions used in applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
