Original Abstract

The paper deals with a method how to determine a derivative of a matrix exponential function with respect to a parameter inside a matrix of the exponent. The considered technique is based on a Laplace transform approach when, in the transform domain, the derivative is easily stated. To get a result in the original domain, however, it is necessary to use some numerical technique of an inverse Laplace transform (NILT). In the paper, two such methods are presented. To ensure numerical stability of the computation the NILT method is always preceeded by scaling to decrease a Euclidean norm of the matrix below a predefined value, and followed by squaring to return it to the original value. The method finds its practical application in various fields of the electrical engineering simulation, e.g. for a sensitivity analysis in systems with multiconductor transmission lines as their distributed parts.
