We derive an augmented Krylov subspace method with subspace recycling for computing a sequence of matrix function applications on a set of vectors. The matrix is either fixed or changes as the sequence progresses. We assume consecutive matrices are closely related, but make no assumptions on the relationship between the vectors. We present three versions of the method with different practical implementations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the method using a range of numerical experiments with a selection of functions and matrices. We primarily focus our attention on the sign function arising in the overlap formalism of lattice QCD.
