 * unitary matrix (U) and a positive, semi-definite Hermitian matrix (H).
 * However, in this particular implementation the original matrix, A, is
 * required to be a square 3x3 matrix with real elements. This means that U will
 * be an orthogonal matrix and H with be a positive-definite, symmetric matrix.
