%0 Journal Article %T Kronecker Square Roots and The Block vec Matrix %A Ignacio Ojeda %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X Using the block vec matrix, I give a necessary and sufficient condition for factorization of a matrix into the Kronecker product of two other matrices. As a consequence, I obtain an elementary algorithmic procedure to decide whether a matrix has a square root for the Kronecker product. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.8149v2
