contents We propose and analyze a second-order Strang splitting method for a class of stiff matrix differential equations with Sylvester-type structure. The method splits the dynamics into a stiff linear part, treated exactly via matrix exponentials, and a nonlinear part, integrated by a second-order dynamical low-rank (DLR) scheme. Our main contribution is a rigorous convergence proof showing that, under suitable assumptions, the overall scheme achieves second-order accuracy. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results and demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed method.
