    Hi Gavin,

    You have my permission to use the codes for matrix exponential and eigen
    calculation.  I won't take any responsibility for any errors in the source
    code.

    Are you using the code for a symmetrical real matrix (or for a
    reversible-process rate matrix) as well?

    Best,
    Ziheng
