take the pointwise square root of a function or numeric array.

Syntax

root = sqrt(f)

Description

For an MTEX object, sqrt(x, …) calls x.sqrt(…). Additional positional and keyword arguments are passed to that method unchanged. Its documentation specifies the accepted inputs, units, symmetry handling and optional outputs. Consult the corresponding method for the behaviour of a particular object type.

For numeric arrays without an MTEX method, this calls numpy.sqrt.

Signature

sqrt(x, *args, **kwargs)

Methods it calls

S1FunHarmonic	the pointwise square root, a Fourier series of a smoothing bandwidth, or at the bandwidth given
S2FunHarmonic	the square root of the function, expanded by quadrature, or at the bandwidth given
S2FunTri	take square roots at the vertices and interpolate those values linearly
SO3FunCBF	the square root of the function, pointwise, as a function handle
SO3FunHarmonic	the square root of the function, by quadrature at twice the bandwidth, or at the bandwidth given
SO3FunRBF	the square root of the function, pointwise, as a function handle

Used on

SO3FunOperations, S2FunHarmonicRepresentation, S2FunOperations
