pow_matrix🔗
Short description🔗
pow_matrix — Compute the power functions of a matrix.
Signature🔗
pow_matrix( matrix MatrixID, string MatrixType, number Power, out matrix MatrixPowID )
Description🔗
The operator pow_matrix computes the power of the input
Matrix by a constant value. The input Matrix
is given by the matrix handle MatrixID. The power value
is given by the parameter Power. A new matrix
MatrixPow is generated with the result. The operator
returns the matrix handle MatrixPowID of the matrix
MatrixPow. Access to the elements of the matrix is
possible e.g., with the operator get_full_matrix.
The type of the Matrix can be selected via
MatrixType. The following values are supported:
'general' for general, 'symmetric' for symmetric,
'positive_definite' for symmetric positive definite,
'upper_triangular' for upper triangular,
'permuted_upper_triangular' for permuted upper triangular,
'lower_triangular' for lower triangular, and
'permuted_lower_triangular' for permuted lower triangular
matrices. The formula for the calculation of the
result is:
Example:
Power = [2.0],
MatrixType = 'general'
Attention🔗
For MatrixType = 'symmetric',
'positive_definite', or 'upper_triangular' the
upper triangular part of the input Matrix must contain
the relevant information of the matrix. The strictly lower
triangular part of the matrix is not referenced. For
MatrixType = 'lower_triangular' the lower
triangular part of the input Matrix must contain the
relevant information of the matrix. The strictly upper triangular
part of the matrix is not referenced. If the referenced part of
the input Matrix is not of the specified type, an
exception is raised.
Execution information🔗

Parameters🔗
MatrixID (input_control) matrix → (handle)
Matrix handle of the input matrix.
MatrixType (input_control) string → (string)
The type of the input matrix.
Default: 'general'
List of values: 'general', 'lower_triangular', 'permuted_lower_triangular', 'permuted_upper_triangular', 'positive_definite', 'symmetric', 'upper_triangular'
Power (input_control) number → (real / integer)
The power.
Default: 2.0
Suggested values: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 10.0
MatrixPowID (output_control) matrix → (handle)
Matrix handle with the raised powered matrix.
Result🔗
If the parameters are valid, the operator pow_matrix
returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). If necessary, an exception is raised.
