csqrt (3)

CSQRT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual CSQRT(3) NAME csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root SYNOPSIS #include <complex.h> double complex csqrt(double complex z); float complex csqrtf(float complex z); long double complex csqrtl(long double complex z); Link with -lm. DESCRIPTION Calculate the square root of a given complex number, with non-negative real part, and with a branch cut along the negative real axis. (That means that csqrt(-1+eps*I) will be close to I while csqrt(-1-eps*I) will be close to -I, if eps is a small positive real number.)
