isHermitian(x, tol = 100 * .Machine$double.eps)
ishpd(x,tol= 100 * .Machine$double.eps)
zapim(x,tol= 100 * .Machine$double.eps)

`x`	A square matrix
`tol`	Tolerance for numerical scruff

Functions isHermitian() and ishpd() return a Boolean, indicating whether the argument is Hermitian or Hermitian positive definite respectively. Function zapim() zaps small imaginary parts of a vector, returning real if all elements are so zapped.

v <- 2^(1:30)
zapim(v+1i*exp(-v))


ishpd(matrix(c(1,0.1i,-0.1i,1),2,2))   # should be TRUE
isHermitian(matrix(c(1,3i,-3i,1),2,2)) # should be TRUE
ishpd(rcwis(6,2))                      # should be TRUE
