18 ## funm: Matrix equivalent of function 'name' | |
19 ## | |
20 ## Usage: B = funm(A, name) | |
21 ## where A = square non-singular matrix, provisionally | |
22 ## real-valued | |
23 ## B = square result matrix | |
24 ## name = string, name of function to apply to A. | |
25 ## args = any arguments to pass to function 'name' | |
26 ## The function must accept a vector and apply | |
27 ## element-wise to that vector. | |
28 ## | |
29 ## Example: To compute sqrtm(A), you could use funm(A, 'sqrt') | |
30 ## | |
31 ## Note that you should not use funm for 'sqrt', 'log' or 'exp'; instead | |
32 ## use sqrtm, logm and expm which are more robust. Similarly, | |
33 ## trigonometric and hyperbolic functions (cos, sin, tan, cot, sec, csc, | |
34 ## cosh, sinh, tanh, coth, sech, csch) are better handled by thfm(A, | |
35 ## name), which defines them in terms of the more robust expm. | |
36 | |
37 ## NOTE: the following comments are withheld until they can be verified | |
38 ## | |
39 ## If you have a network of coupled systems, where for the individual | |
40 ## systems a solution exists in terms of scalar variables, in many | |
41 ## cases the network might be solved using the same form of the | |
42 ## solution but with substituting the matrix equivalent of the function | |
43 ## applied to the scalar variables. | |
44 ## The approach is to do an eigen-analysis of the network to decouple | |
45 ## the systems, apply the scalar functions to the eigenvalues, | |
46 ## and then recombine the systems into a network. | |
