Is there an analytic result for the exponential of a symmetric, tridiagonal matrix (the diagonal can be zero, if this helps). Moreover, if it simplifies the result, the $alpha$'s matrices can be (asymmetric) banded.



Here is an example of such a matrix:



$$begin{bmatrix} 0 & alpha_2 & & & \
alpha_2 & 0 & alpha_3 & & & \
& & ddots & & \
& & alpha_{n-1} & 0 & alpha_n \
& & & alpha_n & 0
end{bmatrix}$$



I am aware that there are numerical means to do this (more or less accurate), e.g. most notably the software package EXPOKIT.

    I'm not sure I understand your notation, but what's wrong with $(I cosh alpha_2+sigma_1sinhalpha_2)oplus ... oplus (I cosh alpha_n+sigma_1sinhalpha_n)$, where $sigma_1 = begin{pmatrix} 0&1\ 1&0 end{pmatrix}$ is the usual Pauli matrix?
