Gabor> mexp(adj, type = "series") - diag(length(empf))
just a note on the matrix exponential:
The Matrix package (from CRAN) now also has the matrix
exponential, expm(.) ,
using the ''least dubious '' algorithm of
Moler, C. and Van Loan C. (2003)
"Ninteen dubious ways to compute the exponential of a
matrix, twenty-five years later".
SIAM review 45, 3--49
namely the one also in use by Matlab and Octave
So the above would be something like
library(Matrix)
expm( as(adj, "dgeMatrix") ) - as(diag(length(empf)), "dgeMatrix")
Gabor> giving a matrix whose i,j-th entry is 1/n! if j is
Gabor> n-generations above i.
Gabor> From that you can get the info you need.
