Convergence of The Expansion
From a mathematical point of view, the convergence problem is the following: given a certain matrix, when can the exponent be obtained as the sum of the Magnus series? A sufficient condition for this series to converge for is
where denotes a matrix norm. This result is generic, in the sense that one may construct specific matrices for which the series diverges for any .

Famous quotes containing the word expansion:
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
