symm — Symmetric Matrix


\begin{rail}
Symmetric : 'symm' '(' Matrix ')' ;
\end{rail}
symm returns the symmetric part of the argument matrix. This is the nearest symmetric (Hermitian) matrix to the argument in both the Frobenius norm and 2-norm. $\Longrightarrow$ This is not an built-in function. This function is normally loaded on start-up from the symm.r file in the standard rlib directory. Use of the -r option, incorrectly setting the RLAB_LIB_DIR environmental variable, or modifying symm.r may make this function unavailable.
