Dolcetti, Alberto; Pertici, Donato Real square roots of matrices: differential properties in semi-simple, symmetric and orthogonal cases. (English) Zbl 1464.15013 Riv. Mat. Univ. Parma (N.S.) 11, No. 2, 315-333 (2020). Summary: We study the differential and metric structures of the set of real square roots of a non-singular real matrix, under the assumption that the matrix and its square roots are semi-simple, or symmetric, or orthogonal.
