Matrix Mittag‑Leffler function in fractional systems and its computation

Matrix Mittag‑Leffler functions play a key role in numerous applications related to systems with fractional dynamics. That is why the methods for computing the matrix Mittag‑Leffler function are so important. The matrix Mittag‑Leffler function is a generalization of matrix exponential function. This implies that some of numerous existing methods for computing the matrix exponential can be adapted for matrix Mittag‑Leffler functions as well. Unfortunately, the technique of scaling and squaring, widely used in computing of the matrix exponential, cannot be applied to matrix Mittag‑Leffler functions, as the latter do not possess the semigroup property. Here we describe a method of computing the matrix Mittag‑Leffler function based on the Jordan canonical form representation. This method is implemented with Matlab code [1].
