{wiki=Square_root_of_a_matrix}
The square root of a matrix \\( A \\) is another matrix \\( B \\) such that when multiplied by itself, it yields \\( A \\). Mathematically, this is expressed as: \\\[ B^2 = A \\\] Not all matrices have square roots, and if they do exist, they may not be unique. The existence of a square root depends on several properties of the matrix, such as its eigenvalues. \#\#\# Types of Square Roots 1.
