There isn't a def'n. Its a mapper function, see ov-mapper.cc. How to use it
though that's another question. In fact using it will probably be so esoteric
you'd be better with something like

  NDArray m = args(0).array_value();
  for (int i=0; i < m.numel (); i++)
    m(i) = sqrt (m(i));

Which is also good for N-D arrays..
