Matrix logarithm
This submission contains two functions for computing the matrix
logarithm by the inverse scaling and squaring method. LOGM_NEW uses a
Schur decomposition, while LOGM_ISS_FULL is transformation-free and
works entirely with the original matrix. Both incorporate several
improvements over previous algorithms.
Function TEST.M runs a simple test of the codes.
