Re: [sage-support] Sqrt of a matrix over Fp

Hi, You will probably have to implement a function to find a sqrt (if it exists) in terms of other higher level primitives. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_a_matrix and https://chat.openai.com/share/114817d2-908a-4776-b14a-5bc6e04b226b William On Thu, Jun 8, 2023 at 9:05 AM Hab

[sage-support] Sqrt of a matrix over Fp

Hi, I need to compute square roots of matrices defined over finite fields. It seems sage has no such function. I am getting this error. AttributeError: 'sage.matrix.matrix_modn_dense_float.Matrix_modn_dense_float' object has no attribute 'sqrt' Any help on this will be very useful to me. Regards
