Abstract

A real square matrix is said to be essentially non-negative if all of its off-diagonal entries are non-negative. We establish entrywise relative perturbation bounds for the exponential of an essentially non-negative matrix. Our bounds are sharp and contain a condition number that is intrinsic to the exponential function. As an application, we study sensitivity of continuous-time Markov chains.
