We present two iterative methods for the approximate solution of such differential matrix equations. In the first method, exploiting the extended block Krylov method, we approximate the exponential matrix in the exact solution. In the second method, we first project the initial value problem onto an extended block Krylov subspace and acquire a low-dimensional low-rank Sylvester differential matrix equation. Then the reduced Sylvester differential matrix equation is solved by the backward differentiation formula method (BDF) and the derived solution is used to construct the low-rank approximate solution of the original initial value problem. The iterative approaches are followed until some certain accuracy is obtained. We give some theoretical results and some numerical examples to show the efficiency of the proposed methods. https://jmmrc.uk.ac.ir/article_4254_bee298d1ccdc7e55b805fdfebdf2f12f.pdf
