Apply this power series to tA: E(tA) = I + t/2 A + t^2/6 A^2 + t^3/24 A^3 + ... multiply by t: t E(tA) = t I + t^2/2 A + t^3/6 A^2 + t^4/24 A^3 + ... Differentiate with respect to t: (d/dt) t E(tA) = I + t A + t^2/2 A^2 + t^3/6 A^3 + ... The fact that A is not invertible does not impede the computation of of either tE(tA) or its derivative. So, again, the question is: what is the derivative of tE(tA) with respect to t?
