Abstract
We present an efficient procedure to compute the continuous Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula based on the Magnus expansion. It only requires the computation of one iterated integral and one new commutator at each degree. The remaining terms are recovered by the action of permutations on the indices of the iterated integral. The procedure is illustrated on several examples of control theory.
