Sep 29, 2020 at 16:45 comment added yoshi But the $n+1$ term bounds the error when Taylor series is within the radius of convergence, right? (The analogous condition holds for the example above)
Sep 29, 2020 at 10:02 comment added Federico Poloni No, the $n+1$st term does not estimate the error in Taylor series, in general. Case in point: $1/(1-x)$.
Sep 28, 2020 at 15:36 comment added yoshi My inclination was to think this works like taylor series approximation where the n+1 estimates the error. I suspect I'm wrong somehow though. I thought this might be correct because of the final inequality in the wiki article -- perhaps I could just use a n term taylor appx for $f_k$ and the actual square root for $f_l$: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

Sep 28, 2020 at 14:14 comment added Federico Poloni Why do you expect the first omitted term to bound the error ? This series does not have alternating signs, and as far as I understand this result is not true even for scalar inputs.

Sep 26, 2020 at 16:37 comment added yoshi ah yes -- In this post I am considering a normalized $A$ in the expansion -- $A/\|A\|$ - which is 1/4 and 1 on the diagonal. So for this matrix I believe the spectrum is in the disk centered at 1 with radius 1.
Sep 26, 2020 at 15:08 comment added Carlo Beenakker doesn't it state the requirement that the spectrum of $A$ is contained within a unit disc in the complex plane?
Sep 26, 2020 at 15:03 comment added yoshi I should have mentioned that the wiki article I was using for the formula is here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_a_matrix#Power_series -- the condition they have is $\|(I - A)\|^n \leq 1$ -- which is true for this case. Where are you seeing the eigenvalue condition you are referring too?
Sep 26, 2020 at 14:22 comment added Carlo Beenakker the Wikipedia formula you cite says that it needs the eigenvalues of $A$ to lie in the interval (0,2), which does not apply to your choice of $A$.
