== Your task ==
* Did you select a task from our list of proposals and ideas?
* The project I would like to work on is ''Improve logm, sqrtm, funm''.
** If yes, what task did you choose? Please describe what part of it you especially want to focus on if you can already provide this information. ''Please also wiki-link the page for your elaborated proposal here.''
 
** If you apply for a task you have added yourself instead, please describe this task, its scope and people you already talked to concerning it. What field of tasks did you miss on the list?
I would implement such functions, using known algorithms for matrix functions. In particular, I would like to start implementing the Schur-Parlett recurrence for general matrix functions, that is known to be <math>\mathcal{O}(n^4)</math>, and then implementing better - specific - algorithms for the other two functions. For the matrix logarithm I do not know wether there is something better than the scaling and squaring method devised by Higham in ''Functions of Matrices: Theory and Computation'', while for the p-th root there is a recent work [http://poisson.phc.unipi.it/~maxreen/bruno/pdf/B.%20Iannazzo%20and%20C.%20Manasse%20-%20A%20Schur%20logarithmic%20algorithm%20for%20fractional%20powers%20of%20matrices%20-%20SIMAX.pdf] that has a lower asymptotical complexity (but seems rather involved, so I cannot say anything about the real performances).
 
 
* Please provide a rough estimated timeline for your work on the task. ''This should include the GSoC midterms and personal commitments like exams or vacation ("non-coding time"). Optionally include two or three milestones you expect.''
