square root of a matrix

[Steve_Block]

In matlab there is a function called sqrtm which calculates the square root of a matrix. Is there an equivalent or known way to do this in CVI?

Hello Steve.

I am somewhat out of my depth here, but I found the following which may be of use to you.

From here:

In its Advanced Analysis library, CVI offers the Cholesky() and CxCholesky() functions.

Hope this helps,
Colin.
