Show that $exp(C^{-1} AC ) = C^{-1} exp(A C)$
$begingroup$
Show that $exp(C^{-1} AC) = C^{-1} exp(A C)$ for any matrices $A in L_{n}(mathbb{R})$ and $C in GL_{n}(mathbb{R})$.
The hint of the question is given below:
Consider the linear operator $alpha$ given in some basis (e) by the matrix $A$, and find the matrix of $e^{alpha}$ in the basis (e)$C$ in two ways.
But I just want any type of proof either by calculation or by the hint given above, because I will use this result in solving another problem, just to be convinced with it while using it.
Could anyone help me in doing so please?
Thank you!

do you mean $$e^{C^{-1}AC}$$ on the left hand side? That is equivalent to $exp(C^{-1}AC)$, whereas $exp^{C^{-1}AC}$ is rather meaningless. When using $exp(cdot)$, there needs to be something standing in for $cdot$. In general, $e^{A} = exp(A)$

Look at the power series defining $e^B$ for any $B in L_n(Bbb R)$:
$e^B = displaystyle sum_0^infty dfrac{B^n}{n!}; tag 1$
now observe that for any $n ge 0$,
$C^{-1}A^n C = (C^{-1}AC)^n; tag 2$
then
$C^{-1}e^A C = C^{-1}left ( displaystyle sum_0^infty dfrac{A^n}{n!} right )C$
$= displaystyle sum_0^infty dfrac{C^{-1}A^nC}{n!} = displaystyle sum_0^infty dfrac{(C^{-1}AC)^n}{n!} = e^{C^{-1}AC}. tag 3$
That's about the shortest derivation of
$C^{-1}e^A C = e^{C^{-1}AC} tag 4$
I know!
And incidentally, the method works for any matrix analytic function defined by a convergent power series . . .
