This submission contains two functions for computing EXPM(t*A)*b without explicitly forming EXPM(t*A), where A is an n-by-n matrix and b is an n-by-1 vector. This is the problem of computing the action of the matrix exponential on a vector.

EXPMV(t,A,B, computes EXPM(t*A)*B, while EXPMV_TSPAN(A,b,t0,tmax,q) computes EXPM(t*A)*b for q+1 >= 2 equally spaced values of T between T0 and TMAX.

The functions work for any matrix A, and use just matrix-vector products with A and A^*.

Function TEST.M runs a simple test of the codes.
