The goal here is to implement some missing Matlab functions related to matrix functions like the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential matrix exponential]. There is [http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/matrix-functions-td3137935.html a general discussion] of the problem. A good starting point for available algorithms and open-source implementations is Higham and Deadman's  [http://eprints.ma.man.ac.uk/2102/01/covered/MIMS_ep2014_8.pdf "A Catalogue of Software for Matrix Functions"].
