1 Introduction and motivation
The evaluation of matrix functions plays an important and relevant role in many scientific ap-
plications because matrix functions have proven to be an efficient tool in applications such as
reduced order models [1], [2, pp. 275–303], image denoising [3] and graph neural networks [4],
among others.
Among the different matrix functions, we must highlight hyperbolic matrix functions. The com-
putation of the hyperbolic matrix functions has received remarkable attention in the last decades
due to its usefulness in the solution of systems of partial differential problems, see references [5,6]
for example. For this reason, several algorithms have been provided recently for computing these
matrix functions, looking for high precision in the approximation and economy of computational
cost, see [7, pp.403–407], [8–11] and references therein.
Also, the generalizations of some known classical special functions into matrix framework are
important both from the theoretical and applied point of view. These new extensions (Laguerre,
Hermite, Chebyshev, Jacobi matrix polynomials, etc.) have proved to be very useful in vari-
ous fields such as physics, engineering, statistics and telecommunications. Recently, Bernoulli
polynomials Bn(x), who are defined in [12] as the coefficients of the generating function
g(x, t)= tetx
et≠1=ÿ
nØ0
Bn(x)
n!tn,|t|<2fi,(1)
and that have the explicit expression for Bn(x)
Bn(x)=
n
ÿ
k=0 An
kBBkxn≠k,(2)
where the Bernoulli numbers are defined by Bn=Bn(0), satisfying the explicit recurrence
B0=1,Bk=≠
k≠1
ÿ
i=0
Bi
k+1≠i,k Ø1.(3)

Modelling for Engineering & Human Behaviour 2021
have been generalized to the matrix framework in [13]: For a matrix AœCr◊r,thenth Bernoulli
matrix polynomial it is defined by the expression
Bn(A)=
n
ÿ
k=0 An
kBBkAn≠k.(4)
This matrix polynomials have the series expansion
eAt =Aet≠1
tBÿ
nØ0
Bn(A)tn
n!,|t|<2fi.(5)
To obtain practical approximations of the exponential matrix using the expansion (5), let’s take
“s” as the scaling of the matrix Aand take the degree of the approximation “m”, and then
eA2≠s¥(e≠1)
m
ÿ
n=0
Bn(A2≠s)
n!.(6)
The use of expansion (5) to approximate matrix exponential with good results of precision and
computational cost can be found in [13]. For a matrix AœCr◊r, using expression (5) we obtain
cosh (A) = sinh (1) ÿ
nØ0
B2n(A)
(2n)! + (cosh (1) ≠1)ÿ
nØ0
B2n+1(A)
(2n+ 1)! .(7)
Note that unlike the Taylor (and Hermite) polynomials that are even or odd, depending on the
parity of the polynomial degree n, the Bernoulli matrix polynomials do not verify this property,
so in the development of cosh(A) all Bernoulli polynomials are needed (and not just the even-
numbered). We can also obtain, for CœCr◊r, the expression:
cosh (C) = sinh (1) ÿ
nØ0
22nB2n11
2(C+I)2
(2n)! .(8)
The objective of this work is to present algorithms based on the approximations (7) and (8) for
the matrix hyperbolic cosine, trying to choose the most precise and with the lowest computational
cost.
2 The proposed Algorithms
From (7) one gets the approximation
cosh (A)¥sinh (1)
m
ÿ
n=0
B2n(A)
(2n)! + (cosh (1)≠1)
m
ÿ
n=0
B2n+1(A)
(2n+ 1)! ,(9)
and from (8) one gets the alternative approximation
cosh (C)¥sinh (1)
m
ÿ
n=0
22nB2n11
2(C+I)2
(2n)! .(10)
We are going to try to compare algorithms based on the approximations in practice (9)-(10). As
different algorithms are going to be used, we will to establish the following identification code
denoted by coshmber≠x≠y, where the argument is chosen according to the following criteria:
•We denote x= 1 if we use directly formula (9).

•We denote x= 2 if we use directly formula (10).
•We use x= 3 if formula (10) is used, but terms with odd powers have been removed.
By other hand, we have the argument yœ{3,4,5}, it is chosen according to the following criteria:
•We denote y= 3 if the evaluation of mand suse a norm estimation, similar to the given in
reference [14].
•We denote y= 4 if the evaluation of mand suse other algorithm for the norm estimation, see
reference [14] for more details.
•We denote y= 5 if the evaluation of mand sis made without norm estimation (calculating
the norms), see [14].
Our algorithm has been compared with algorithm funmcosh. This functions is funm MATLAB
function to compute matrix functions, such as the matrix hyperbolic cosine. All computations
was implemented on MATLAB 2020b.
Matrices and numerical test
For the numerical experiments a set of 153 test matrices matrices has been selected: 60 diagonal-
izable (Hadamard matrices), 60 non-diagonalizable, 39 from toolbox [15] and 13 from Eigtool [16].
Size 128◊128. We have performed a series of experiments to determine the best algorithm choice.
First we carry out the following tests:
•test 1: we compare each coshmber ≠1≠3, coshmber ≠1≠4, coshmber ≠1≠5.
•test 2: we compare each coshmber ≠2≠3, coshmber ≠2≠4, coshmber ≠2≠5.
•test 3: we compare each coshmber ≠3≠3, coshmber ≠3≠4, coshmber ≠3≠5.
Analysis of results of test 1
We compare algorithms coshmber ≠1≠3, coshmber≠1≠4, coshmber≠1≠5, obtaining the following
table 1 of results. With respect the computational cost, the total number of matrix products of
each algorithm was: coshmber≠1≠3 (1940), coshmber≠1≠4 (1872) and coshmber≠1≠5 (1939).
Among the three proposed algorithms (coshmber≠1≠3, coshmber≠1≠4, coshmber≠1≠5) we choose
algorithm coshmber ≠1≠4 because E(coshmber≠1≠3) >E(coshmber≠1≠4) in the 40.49% and the
number of matrix products is 1872, therefore, this algorithm coshmber ≠1≠4 has the lowest com-
putational cost. Regarding errors, algorithms coshmber ≠1≠3 and coshmber ≠1≠5 are practically
the same.

Analysis of results with MATLAB function funmcosh (Numerical test 4)
Finally, we will compare the selected algorithms coshmber≠1≠4, coshmber≠2≠3, coshmber≠3≠4
and the MATLAB function funmcosh, see Table 4. With respect the computational cost, the
total number of matrix products of each algorithm was: funmcosh: (2282), coshmber≠1≠4 (1872),
coshmber ≠2≠3 (1940) and coshmber ≠3≠4 (1336).

3 Conclusions
In this work, different variations of algorithms have been presented to calculate the matrix hy-
perbolic cosine based on new Bernoulli matrix polynomials series expansions (7) and (8). These
algorithms have been tested on a battery of test matrices in order to select the best variants,
both in terms of computational cost as in terms of error in the approximation. The best selec-
tion (algorithm coshmber ≠3≠4) is based in formula (10), but terms with odd powers have been
removed, and in the evaluation of mand swhich use the algorithm for the norm estimation given
in reference [14].
