在数学 和物理学 中,马格努斯展开 (英语:Magnus expansion )为线性算子的一阶齐次线性微分方程 的解提供了指数表示,得名于数学家威廉·马格努斯 。特别地,这种方法提供了变系数n阶线性常微分方程 组的基矩阵。指数是无穷级数,其项涉及多重积分和嵌套换元。
给定n × n 系数矩阵A (t ) ,我们希望求解与线性常微分方程相关的初值问题
Y
′
(
t
)
=
A
(
t
)
Y
(
t
)
,
Y
(
t
0
)
=
Y
0
{\displaystyle Y'(t)=A(t)Y(t),\quad Y(t_{0})=Y_{0}}
其中Y (t ) 是未知n维向量函数。
n = 1时,解为
Y
(
t
)
=
exp
(
∫
t
0
t
A
(
s
)
d
s
)
Y
0
.
{\displaystyle Y(t)=\exp \left(\int _{t_{0}}^{t}A(s)\,ds\right)Y_{0}.}
若A (t ) 对任意一组t , t 1 、t 2 仍满足A (t 1 ) A (t 2 ) = A (t 2 ) A (t 1 ) ,则此式可推广到n > 1情形。A 与t 无关时尤为如此。在一般情形下,上述表达式不再是问题的解。
马格努斯提出的解矩阵初值问题的方法是,用某个n阶方阵函数Ω(t , t 0 ) 的指数来表示解:
Y
(
t
)
=
exp
(
Ω
(
t
,
t
0
)
)
Y
0
,
{\displaystyle Y(t)=\exp {\big (}\Omega (t,t_{0}){\big )}\,Y_{0},}
稍后可将其构造为级数 展开式:
Ω
(
t
)
=
∑
k
=
1
∞
Ω
k
(
t
)
,
{\displaystyle \Omega (t)=\sum _{k=1}^{\infty }\Omega _{k}(t),}
为简单起见习惯将Ω(t , t 0 ) 写作Ω(t ) ,并取t 0 = 0.
马格努斯意识到,由于d / dt (e Ω ) e −Ω = A (t ) ,可利用庞加莱-豪斯多夫矩阵恒等式将Ω 的时间导数和伯努利数及
Ω 的伴随自同态 联系起来
Ω
′
=
ad
Ω
exp
(
ad
Ω
)
−
1
A
,
{\displaystyle \Omega '={\frac {\operatorname {ad} _{\Omega }}{\exp(\operatorname {ad} _{\Omega })-1}}A,}
并以“BCH展开 的连续类似物”递归求解Ω ,下详。

其中[A , B ] ≡ A B − B A 是A 、B 的矩阵交换子 。
这些方程可解释如下:Ω1 (t ) 与标量(n = 1)情形下的指数完全重合,但这方程无法给出整个解。若坚持要用指数表示(李群 ),则要对指数进行修正。马格努斯级数的剩余部分系统地提供了修正:Ω 或其部分在解的李群 的李代数 中。
在应用中,很少能对马格努斯级数精确求和,而要截断才能得到近似解。马格努斯方法的主要优势在于,中截级数通常和精确解具有相同的重要性质,这异于传统摄动理论 。例如,经典力学 中,时间演化 的辛几何 特征在每阶近似都得到保留。同样,量子力学 时间演化算子的幺正性 也得到保留(例如,与解决同一问题的戴森级数 相反)。
从数学角度看,收敛问题如下:给定矩阵A (t ) ,何时可得作为马格努斯级数和的指数Ω(t ) ?
t ∈ [0,T ) 时,级数收敛 的充分条件是
∫
0
T
‖
A
(
s
)
‖
2
d
s
<
π
,
{\displaystyle \int _{0}^{T}\|A(s)\|_{2}\,ds<\pi ,}
其中
‖
⋅
‖
2
{\displaystyle \|\cdot \|_{2}}
表示矩阵范数 。这个结果是通用的,因为可构造特定矩阵,t > T 时级数都发散。
生成马格努斯展开式中所有项的递归过程利用了下面的递归定义的矩阵 S n (k ) :

∑

{\displaystyle S_{n}^{(1)}=\left[\Omega _{n-1},A\right],\quad S_{n}^{(n-1)}=\operatorname {ad} _{\Omega _{1}}^{n-1}(A),}
然后得到

其中B j 是伯努利数 ,而B 1 = −1/2 。
最后,明确算得这一递归后,就可将Ωn (t ) 表为涉及n个矩阵A 的n-1个嵌套换元的n重积分的线性组合:

随着n 增加,这个式子会变复杂。
