Use of Matrizant in Solving Boundary Value Problems

The procedure for solving linear initial value problems using the matrizant is the same as that in section 2.1.2 except that instead of finding the exponential matrix, the matrizant is found. 

To illustrate the process of using the matrizant, consider the initial value problem 

This equation is solved in Maple by finding the matrizant below. 

Warning, the protected names norm and trace have been redefined and unprotected 

Enter the number of terms used in calculating the matrizant. (Usually six terms are sufficient).
