This work is concerned with the computation of the action of a matrix function f(A), such as the matrix exponential or the matrix square root, on a vector b. For a general matrix A, this can be done by computing the compression of A onto a suitable Krylov subspace. Such compression is usually computed by forming an orthonormal basis of the Krylov subspace using the Arnoldi method. In this work, we propose to compute (non-orthonormal) bases in a faster way and to use a fast randomized algorithm for least-squares problems to compute the compression of A onto the Krylov subspace. We present some numerical examples which show that our algorithms can be faster than the standard Arnoldi method while achieving comparable accuracy.
