Matrix Riccati differential equations arise in many different areas and are particular important within the field of control theory. In this paper we consider numerical integration for large-scale systems of stiff matrix Riccati differential equations. We show how to apply exponential Rosenbrock-type integrators to get approximate solutions. Two typical exponential integration schemes are considered. The implementation issues are addressed and some low-rank approximations are exploited based on high quality numerical algebra codes. Numerical comparisons demonstrate that the exponential integrators can obtain high accuracy and efficiency for solving large-scale systems of stiff matrix Riccati differential equations.
