We study the solutions of the matrix equation S exp(S) = A. Our motivation comes from the study of systems of delay differential equations y' (t) = Ay(t - 1), which occur in some models of practical interest, especially in mathematical biology. This paper concentrates on the distinction between evaluating a matrix function and solving a matrix equation. In particular,it shows that the matrix Lambert W function evaluated at the matrix A does not represent all possible solutions of S exp(S) = A. These results can easily be extended to more general matrix equations. |
