def _asarray_square(A):
    """
    Wraps asarray with the extra requirement that the input be a square matrix.

    The motivation is that the matfuncs module has real functions that have
    been lifted to square matrix functions.

    Parameters
    ----------
    A : array_like
        A square matrix.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        An ndarray copy or view or other representation of A.

def _maybe_real(A, B, tol=None):
    """
    Return either B or the real part of B, depending on properties of A and B.

    The motivation is that B has been computed as a complicated function of A,
    and B may be perturbed by negligible imaginary components.
    If A is real and B is complex with small imaginary components,
    then return a real copy of B.  The assumption in that case would be that
    the imaginary components of B are numerical artifacts.

    Parameters
    ----------
    A : ndarray
        Input array whose type is to be checked as real vs. complex.
    B : ndarray
        Array to be returned, possibly without its imaginary part.
    tol : float
        Absolute tolerance.

    Returns
    -------
    out : real or complex array
        Either the input array B or only the real part of the input array B.

    Returns
    -------
    eA : ndarray
        The resulting matrix exponential with the same shape of ``A``

    Notes
    -----
    Implements the algorithm given in [1], which is essentially a Pade
    approximation with a variable order that is decided based on the array
    data.

    For input with size ``n``, the memory usage is in the worst case in the
    order of ``8*(n**2)``. If the input data is not of single and double
    precision of real and complex dtypes, it is copied to a new array.

    For cases ``n >= 400``, the exact 1-norm computation cost, breaks even with
    1-norm estimation and from that point on the estimation scheme given in
    [2] is used to decide on the approximation order.

    Evaluate a matrix function specified by a callable.

    Returns the value of matrix-valued function ``f`` at `A`. The
    function ``f`` is an extension of the scalar-valued function `func`
    to matrices.

    Parameters
    ----------
    A : (N, N) array_like
        Matrix at which to evaluate the function
    func : callable
        Callable object that evaluates a scalar function f.
        Must be vectorized (eg. using vectorize).
    disp : bool, optional
        Print warning if error in the result is estimated large
        instead of returning estimated error. (Default: True)

    Returns
    -------
    funm : (N, N) ndarray
        Value of the matrix function specified by func evaluated at `A`
    errest : float
        (if disp == False)

        1-norm of the estimated error, ||err||_1 / ||A||_1

    Notes
    -----
    This function implements the general algorithm based on Schur decomposition
    (Algorithm 9.1.1. in [1]_).

    If the input matrix is known to be diagonalizable, then relying on the
    eigendecomposition is likely to be faster. For example, if your matrix is
    Hermitian, you can do

    >>> from scipy.linalg import eigh
    >>> def funm_herm(a, func, check_finite=False):
    ...     w, v = eigh(a, check_finite=check_finite)
    ...     ## if you further know that your matrix is positive semidefinite,
    ...     ## you can optionally guard against precision errors by doing
    ...     # w = np.maximum(w, 0)
    ...     w = func(w)
    ...     return (v * w).dot(v.conj().T)
