For which orthogonal matrices does the matrix exponential converge?
I know that online sources such as Wikipedia and Wolfram just state without any proof or extended discussions that the matrix exponential is well-defined and converges for any square matrix.
$\quad$ Every matrix has an element of maximal size. $($Obviously, if anything can cause
divergence, it's that one$).~$ Let its absolute value be $M.~$ So let us construct a square
matrix S, whose every single element is $M.~$ Then $S^k=\Big(n^{k-1}M^k\Big)_{n\times n}~,~$ and each
element of $A^k$ lies between $\pm~n^{k-1}M^k.~$ But $~e^S\approx\bigg(\dfrac{e^{nM}}n\bigg)_{n\times n}~,~$ so every element
of $e^A$ is definitely bounded. However, even in this case divergence could still theoret–
ically happen, if at least one such element $($not necessarily the same$)$ were to freely
oscillate inside a given range, without actually converging to any particular value
within that interval. But this is not possible, since each new term of the infinite series
decreases at an exponential rate, being trapped between $\pm~\dfrac{n^{k-1}M^k}{k!}.$
