This PR is a potential fix for #54833. ## Description The function https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/2a06376c18afd7ec875335070743dcebcd85dee7/stdlib/LinearAlgebra/src/triangular.jl#L2220 computes $\boldsymbol{A}^{\dfrac{1}{2^s}} - \boldsymbol{I}$ for a real-valued $2\times 2$ matrix $\boldsymbol{A}$ using Algorithm 5.1 in [R1]. However, the algorithm in [R1] as well as the above function do not handle the case $s=0.$ This fix extends the function to compute $\boldsymbol{A}^{\dfrac{1}{2^s}} - \boldsymbol{I} \Bigg|_{s=0} = \boldsymbol{A} - \boldsymbol{I}.$ ## Checklist - [X] Fix code: `stdlib\LinearAlgebra\src\triangular.jl` in function `_sqrt_pow_diag_block_2x2!(A, A0, s)`. - [X] Add test case: `stdlib\LinearAlgebra\test\triangular.jl`. - [X] Update `NEWS.md`. - [X] Testing and self review. | Tag | Reference | | --- | --- | | <nobr>[R1]</nobr> | Al-Mohy, Awad H. and Higham, Nicholas J.
