^(1) Scilab Function ^(1)
NAME
^ - power operation
DESCRIPTION
For square matrices A^p is calculated by successive multiplication if p is
a positive integer, and by diagonalization if not. For non-square matrices
the operation is done entry by entry. Note that Kronecker product is noted
.*. (e.g. A.*.2 returns the elementwise squared A matrix).
Note that ** can be used instead of ^.
EXAMPLE
A=rand(2,3);A^2
A=rand(5,5);X=A^(0.2);X^5-A
