Syntax

---

res = logm(x)

Input argument

---

x

a numeric value: scalar or square matrix (double or single)

Output argument

---

res

a numeric value: a square matrix

Description

---

expm(x) computes the matrix logarithm of x.

The computation is performed by first block-diagonalizing x and then applying a Pade approximation on each block.

Example

---

A = eye(3, 3);
res = logm(A)
res = logm(A+i)
