Abstract

This paper is devoted to the approximation of matrix p th roots. We present and analyze a family of algorithms free of inverses. The method is a combination of two families of iterative methods. The first one gives an approximation of the matrix inverse. The second family computes, using the first method, an approximation of the matrix p th root. We analyze the computational cost and the convergence of this family of methods. Finally, we introduce several numerical examples in order to check the performance of this combination of schemes. We conclude that the method without inverse emerges as a good alternative since a similar numerical behavior with smaller computational cost is obtained.
