This project is about understanding Nicholas Higham's work on Matlab
and reproducing it for Octave. It is highly technical and
mathematical. Have you already started perusing the work by Higham's
and his team?

    http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/~higham/papers/matrix-functions.php

The following paper seems introductory:

You should be comfortable reading these papers if you wish to
undertake this project.
