If the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula describes



$$Z(X,Y) = log(exp(X) exp(Y)) = X + Y + frac12 [X,Y] + ldots$$



then what is the name for formulas of the type



$$Z(W,X,Y) = log(exp(W) exp(X) exp(Y)) = W + X + Y + ldots? $$

    Probably still the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula, since there's no additional generality here. Namely because $log(exp(W)exp(X)exp(Y))$ can be computed using the top formula by writing $exp(W)exp(X) = exp(V)$, where $V:=W+X+frac12 [W,X]+...$.

  • @Shalop Thanks. I was just wondering if this has a specific name by which it is usually referred to.

    It has no standard name, or a particularly evocative structure for that matter, if you are intent on google searching for it. For Y= -W, of course, it is the adjoint group action, and for Y=W it is sometimes dubbed the triple CBH formula, but all these arise out of the conventional CBH algorithms.
