How to compute arccos for a matrix?

I would like to compute the arccos for a matrix. I know when I want to find log(), exp(), and sqrt () for a matrix , we use logm(A), expm(A) and sqrtm(A) where A is a matrix.
I want to find the following:
x=acos(sqrtm(A)\eye(n))
so, Is it correct to compute it like this ? Or we need to use arccosm(sqrtm(A)\eye(n))? Thank you.

There are no trig matrix functions in MATLAB, except the ones that work element by element.

It depends what you are trying to calculate.

And so we could potentially generalize that for matrices, there might be some meaning to
arccosm = @(z) 1i * logm(z + sqrtm(z^2 - 1))
I am having difficulty thinking of a context in which there could be physical meaning for this.
If we substitute in 1/sqrtm(A) then
1i*logm(sqrtm(A\eye(n) - 1) + sqrtm(A)\eye(m))
But is there a meaning for this??

f1 = @(x) acos(sqrtm(x)^(-1)) * sqrtm(x)^(-1);
f2 = @(x) acos(sqrtm(x)/eye(size(x,1))) / sqrtm(x);
f3 = @(x) acos(1./sqrt(x)) ./ sqrt(x);
f1(A)
f2(A)
f3(A)
Try them all and decide which one is the right solution for you.
