polar - polar form

### Calling Sequence

  `[Ro,Theta]=polar(A)`

### Parameters

- `A`: real or complex square matrix
- `Ro,` : real matrix
- `Theta,` : real or complex matrix

### Description

`[Ro,Theta]=polar(A)` returns the polar form of `A` i.e. `A=Ro*expm(%i*Theta)``Ro` symmetric >=0 and `Theta` hermitian >=0.

### Examples

    A=rand(5,5);
    [Ro,Theta]=polar(A);
    norm(A-Ro*expm(%i*Theta),1)
