Our work extends the generalized complex step approximation using the complex computation f (A + e(i theta)hE) as a tool to matrix case, and combines it with finite difference formula to estimate the Frechet derivative. We provide numerical results for the approximation to the first and the second order Frechet derivative of the matrix exponential and matrix square root.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFrechet derivativecomplex step approximationfinite differencematrix exponentialMatrix square rootGeneralized Complex Step Approximation to Estimate the First and Second Order Frechet Derivative of Matrix FunctionsArticle10.2298/FIL2216603A361656035614WOS:0009643252000212-s2.0-85146288666Q3Q2
