Implementing an matrix exponential solver

Question

Hello team,

I am currently trying to implement a matrix exponential solver for use in one of my Markov models. Currently I have an in-house C++ implementation, and there are also open-source versions available as well.

The question is, where would I start implementing this? Since this is a mathematical expression, my first intuition tells me that I should be defining this alongside the other math functions such as exp, sqrt, etc. 

So far, I have been able to find a list of math functions in openCARP/physics/limpet/src/python/im.py and in openCARP/physics/limpet/Transforms/mlir/lib/Passes/RoofLineCounter.cpp. Any pointers to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Would you see this as an additional choice for the integration method for single state variables similar to .method(rk2)?

This is a pointer to the advanced time integration code: https://git.opencarp.org/openCARP/openCARP/-/blob/master/physics/limpet/src/python/limpet_fe.py?ref_type=heads#L1777 (in the code generator converting EasyML (.model) to C++)
